Zombies take on Orienteers! Big Foot Sprints



The Men's first map

I am not sure whether it was the orienteers or those involved in “Zombies V Humans” who had the most fun at Sydney University on Saturday.

The sight of 200 heavily armed students would raise fear levels in some countries but the foam bullets appeared non-threatening. The blood curdling howls of zombies echoed through the hallowed grounds of the Uni- What fun they all appeared to be having as the squads of humans set out to hunt down the zombies

Also hunting were the orienteers with around 150 competitors in the BigFoot Sprints. There were only two classes- men and Women and each competitor ran a qualifying race - Men on A Course and Women on B Course. After a short break round 2 was on with a chasing start on the reverse course.

I am not sure of everyone else, the chance to go orienteering in the Uni was the big attraction. The buildings and gardens are a mix of old and new, tasteful and tasteless.

The biggest winner on the days was MP and it was amazing to see just how many succumbed to MP. Just goes to show that sprints are fast and furious and not much time is given to being cautious.

Result wise Georgia was our top placed competitor finishing in 10th
