Hanging controls for the Stumble. Got out early, so beautiful weather for the most part. I didn't do the controls in the order of the Stumble so don't know quite how the racers will see the course, but most of the woods I was in were beauitful, with very colorful fungi growing all over the place. Did all the controls on the Short and a few on the Long plus hauled some water.

My knee was okay. Every so often a "wrong" step would result in sharp pain but taking it easy and wearing an elastic sleeve seemed to work for the most part. It was a very odd feeling though to be favoring my good knee; I hadn't realized quite how often I compensated for my knee brace by always taking the big down or up steps with my left leg. So strange to decide that I felt more stable jumping down onto my right knee or using that leg to climb down an embankment or up over logs.
