Mobile-O at WCOC's winter meetings at Bald Rock.
First, Kat navigated from the house with a map and cell phone, and I ran with a compass, SI, and phone. It worked very well, and we made a good team. We had one misunderstanding on 5, when Kat said "climb for 25 meters", which I interpreted to mean 25 meters in distance, while she meant 25m in contours. I stopped short, and Kat had to convince me to keep climbing. Otherwise, nice and clean, with safe route choices. A lot of fun, and we smoked Joe and Greg by 6:30.
After that, we switched, and Kat went running with me navigating. This went well also, though I probably tried too hard to make things simple on #10. Here is Kat's QuickRoute:

After the Mobile-O, I missed the beginning of the WCOC winter meeting while guiding Mike around the same course, and managed to get elected to the non-existing position of vice-president. Oops. There was a feeling that everyone wanted to help the club, but no one wanted to volunteer to take charge, myself included (at least for 2010, as I'll be out of the country far too often this year.) However, a bunch of people volunteered to take on some responsibility, such as membership, equipment, and so on, which is a good sign. I think expanding the volunteer base has to be one of WCOC's top concerns, and maybe we can do something on that front in the next year or so.
Also, a huge thank-you to George and Lyn, who are stepping down as WCOC presidents after many years and a lot of great work.
