We had a beautiful day for the 3rd Belmont Wanderings, although a little too warm and sunny (high 70s) for the long runners and bikers. It was nice to see several families go out together, and to see more bikers than previous years. Once again, Phil Bricker came out on top in the 4½ hour combo division (3 hr bike followed by 1½ hr run). But Matt Humar from Slovenia had the top score after the 3 hr bike with an impressive grand loop of the map on his bike, staying near the edges to collect most of the high point controls. The meet was truly an international meet this year, with Ralph Lindzon of Toronto, who was in town to drop his son at college, being the only participant to get the maximum possible bonus points. Another impressive performance was put in by Heikki Topi, who carried his daughter on his shoulders the whole 90 minutes.
I had 2 poor control choices. Many people commented on control 55 because of it's vague location and what I called a green house looked gray to them. And what I thought was the best control on the course (#80) because of its spectacular skyline view was missed by all 6 people who went to it. It turned out that halfway up the long steep hill to the park on top of the bluff was another small park that had a sign that exactly fit my clue description (but of course without the view and without the punishing climb to the top).
