Thomass Morningside

TOC's Malcolm Goddard and Cathy and Clive Hayhow hosted the first 2008 calendar event at Morningside Park in Scarerbia. Many hardy GHOers ventured far beyond the known universe, west of Highway 427, to participate. Located near U. of T Scarborough on the north side of Highland Creek, Morningside Park has severe terrain due to the river valley. The melting snow conditions made climbing up and down the escarpment-like terrain an adventure. Route choices were important to reduce elevation changes.

The top GHO racer was Andre Logvin with a strong 4th place. That was good enough to put Andre in top overall position for the series. Bob Miller seems to be recovering well with a 11th place just ahead of Glenn Birnie in 13th. Sergei Logvin and Tim Grant were 17th and 18th just ahead of the top GHO Female Liza Pye in 20th overall. Elena Logvina was second female in 28th spot just ahead of Eddie Johnson of MBR.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary year of the Toronto Orienteering Club, hot dogs were served with cookies and hot chocolate. Ian Sidders set the hot dog record with 6 including buns though he was bribed to pick up controls for the last two. See Thomass Morningside for all the results.
