Event: OCIN Flying Pig XVI
 

To the event site early with a car full of event supplies for the refreshment table, as well as some of the registration materials, in addition to a Texas junior who needed a ride.

Set up the O-Lynx radio control equipment which required a walk up the hill to the start, as well as a couple of trips up and down the road to place repeaters.

By the time I was able to start, it was just way too hot for me at 70+ F and strong sun, and I didn't really want to walk back up the hill to the start. However, I was excited about doing some Yellow courses this weekend and testing the Achilles and hip, so I headed up the hill.

A first for me, or maybe a second - dead Forerunner which I got to carry around as an anchor on my wrist.

A bit off to the left on the first two controls and then settled down after that. Should have gone around from 10-11 instead of taking the advanced route cross country - my biggest mistake of the day since I was slow slogging up the hill, and then I doubted where I came out on the trail and went back and forth before finding the control.

With no competition in F-Yellow, I took some pleasure in placing 5/17 overall on the course which consisted of M/F-14, and this was despite the fact that I am almost 200 pounds these days. Unfortunately there is photographic evidence of my jelly rolls. Perhaps that will motivate me to eat less crap, but probably not.

It should be noted that I was 16+ minutes behind AG!!!!

2 Yellow - Splits

Arrived at CVG with no issues. Headed north to walk around HW but ended up helping MM with some last minute meet details instead. An enjoyable way to spend the afternoon.

There were clumps of grass about 8" tall, so I raced around the yard before catching flight to CVG.
