Here is my Norristown Hospital Sprint '05, Curly (1) map.
Here is my Norristown Hospital Sprint '05, Larry (2) map.
Here is my Norristown Hospital Sprint '05, Moe (3) map.
The courses seemed to be well received, tho there are certain things I
wasn't happy with, and after talking about routes with people, I got
some ideas on how to improve things. So I guess my goal was reached
as training as a course setter. People seemed to have fun, which was
always a proximate goal. The third course seemed to be the best received;
I was worried people would find it annoying. I did feel that three courses
set like that on the same day could get annoying, or at least cliche. That
is why I tried to give each course sort of a different personality and
partition up the use of the area a bit over the day. The WTs were fine,
given the snow. Kenny won all three races. Peter will probably have
more of a writeup as part of the sprint series.
I think it is a fantastic area, and we can have alot more good courses
on in, tho as people learn this zone and that zone of the map, it loses
some of its luster. There are a couple of changes that can be made to
the map to bring it up to ISSOM (particularly canopies and building
shading), and I think it would be better at 1:4000, but still a great
little map.
