Congratulations to TOC members Igor Palagnuk, Eugene Mlynczyk and Cathy Hayhow for winning the Ontario Relay Championships last weekend!Ognyan Dimitrov, Ralph Lindzon and Clive Hayhow finished 7th. Malcolm Goddard and Emory Baird also had strong runs but a mishap at the map exchange eliminated their team from contention. Thanks to the Stars Orienteering Club for putting on a great event! Complete results are available on the Stars website. June 16, 2009 After much crawling about in the innards of the SI system, the final results for the TOC have been compiled! Visit the results page for links to the team and individual results. We'll save you some suspense and let you know that our new TOC Champs are Igor Palagnyuk and Dominique Rohrbach! Congratulations you crazy woodshounds! We'll have the tchotchkes out to you shortly! As we understand it, the season Champs also have the distinct and dubious privilege of directing next year's Champs event. Can't wait! June 15, 2009 So another TOC Champs has come and gone. Those looking for some bush this weekend certainly found it up on the Escarpment! The summer undergrowth added an additional layer of challenge to Mj's busy score-o courses. Pairs of racers had 2 hours total to tackle 2 separate courses. The rules were simple: each runner ran a different course, then met up with their partner to exchange maps and run the other. Total points were based on the controls that both runners punched. The team earned no points for controls that only one teammate reached. A little teamwork, a little strategy, and a lot of fun! Some runners data was not downloaded after the first or second legs and we're recovering that data manually from the SI bricks. To whet your appetite, we have the preliminary results here, by individual runner, and will have the team results up shortly. Stay tuned for an official announcement of our individual TOC Champs and our team winners! We'd like to thank the event team for pulling it all together, and arranging the lovely weather for us besides: Clive, Mj, Alex, Alison, Erin, Rob and Katrin. June 10, 2009IMPORTANT UPDATE:The Friday and Saturday Nav-Stock events have been cancelled. We are understandly disappointed, but the TOC Champs are still eager to please. Details, irreverance, and ill-concealed innuendo on the event page. Sign up ASAP to reserve your map and your spot in the barbeque line! Speaking of, it is a pot luck, so don't forget to bring your fave salad, dessert, snack or fondue! You can't live on barbeque alone! [Editor's note: Yes, actually, you can, but humour us and bring something.] May 25, 2009 Not to distract you from the inaugural Why Just Run? race taking place on June 6, but we want to draw your attention to the upcoming Nav-Stock Weekend o' O-Love. The wonderfully libertarian Nav-Stock event is two solid days (and nights) of outdoor fun: orienteering, camping, burning perfectly good food. We are also understandably, palpably excited for the TOC Champs, just one part of Nav-Stock's shameless offerings. New for this year, the Champs will be a pairs event, for twice the fun! We're also encouraging threesomes, foursomes and orgiastic consumption on a Roman scale. Dig the event page for more tongue, more cheek, and more details! May 18, 2009 TOC is throwing it's prodigious weight and talent behind a new race series this year! The Why Just Run? series of urban adventure runs is already generating buzz in the local race scene. We are particularly excited about our long anticipated return to the Toronto Islands. New races, new swag, and new adventures! What's not to love? Register for these bad boys today!
