QOC: University of Maryland (UMD) College Park. Don Fish had set a 90 minute score-o. It was his first attempt at course setting. It was pretty fun. The map was mostly okay but there were a few new buildings. In some places stairs weren't mapped as stairs. For a couple of controls, the placement was a little off, and for 3 more the epunch box had gotten stolen (just a bag). I had trouble getting into the map on my first control and lost about 40 seconds. After that I was clean but on my way in, I took a less than optimal route to the stadium entrance. Construction in the area, plus some uncrossable fences had me going farther than needed. If I had taken more time to read the map, I could have saved some of this. The younger members of QOC are asserting themselves, with 3 finishing in about 40 minutes.
