Saturday Dec 31, 2011 #
Note
Last day of being a slug, activity will pick up tomorrow. I expect there will be some substantial changes in 2012.
Note
Really trivial statistics: I looked at which days of the year I have orienteered on throughout my career (1241 races total).
January and February each have several days on which I have not competed in orienteering: January 3, 6, 7, 8, 18, 21, 25, and 31, February 1, 3, 5, 7, 12, 21, 22, 26, 27, and 29. In March I'm missing 2, 6, 7, and 12, and in December, I don't have 14, 16, 17, and 20-31.
But between March 13 and December 13 inclusive, I'm missing only five dates: June 15, August 29, and September 2, 4, and 5. So I've orienteered on 324 of the 366 possible dates. If I did the calculation correctly, there are 49 of those dates on which I've orienteered exactly once.
Mildly interesting that I have not orienteered on either Stephen's or Nicole's birthdays. (Nor the birthdays of Jim Baker and his father.)
However, the other interesting question is which days I have orienteered on most often. I would have expected that it would have been some day when I picked up five courses in a single year, but that's not the case. I find the answer to be surprising: I have orienteered 13 times on June 28 (in '87, '90 (x2), '92, '94, '95, '98, '99, '00, '03, '04, '08, and '09). Runner up with 11 is June 26 ('88, '91, '95, '98, '99, '01, '02, '04, '10 (x2), and '11). There are three other dates with 10 each: May 16, June 6, and October 20.
Not surprisingly, February has been the least busy month, with 33 races, and June turns out to have been the busiest with 153. May (148) and October (147) are close behind.
