FLYING PIG A -Meet: Carter Caves State Park, Kentucky.
Arrived after midnight at the hotel having met up with Alison at Cincinnati airport. Great to see her - she seems ready for the races ahead this weekend.
12.45pm: We walked around part of the model map to get a feel for the terrain and what the cliffs were like and how the terrain was mapped. Quite some cliffs, 5 m + in many places. Pretty amazing cliff formations in this limestone area. Nice to get out and enjoy a walk and chat together.

FLYING PIG A-Meet / USA SPrint Championships- Morehead State University, Morehead, Kentucky.
4.30pm: A fun sprint race around the campus with a few traps if you were not careful. Almost fell into one going to 1 , but realized quickly and minimal time lost. More hesitations than anything else. 17-18 with construction area, ended up going lower route when should have gone higher one. Only dumb mistake was 20-21 when did not realize the control was the upper level and went to lower level. Funny as when looking at Google maps to get a feel for area this was the one area we decided we needed to be careful and low and behold I wasn't! Really enjoyed the course and got the M55 bronze as a nice bonus. Better still was Alison had an excellent run and got Silver in F21 behind Ali Crocker. A good start to the weekend for her.
