Event: WPOC Keystone Capers A-event
 

Got results all set up but no one was coming to download and I was reluctant to leave until I was sure things were working. Finally a few folks came in and after a few adjustments to the reports layouts I was confident things were set. Vadim pushed me out. I knew I needed to hustle to get back in time for him to go out so I actually got a warm up as I jogged over to the start. I got to the line and let the start crew chief know I needed to go out as soon as possible and she said could I go out right then and I figured why not so I was called up to the next line within a few seconds. A little hectic but not so bad.

I had two poor route choices where I decided on a more straight route through green instead of around on trails but I probably only lost a minute on each. I also lost a couple of minutes on a short leg (#6) when I fell and bent my knee past the point where it likes to bend. I must have screamed pretty loudly as Greg Lennon came to make sure I was okay. I waved him on but I must have looked bad since he came back twice to make sure I really was okay. Eventually the pain subsided and I got up and continued on. Bending it far like that really, really hurts but doesn't do any real damage although it might be a bit more sore tomorrow than if I hadn't fallen.

I enjoyed myself today. Glad I came.
