Event: QOC Patapsco Granite
Event: 2013 IS IC Championships
7 AM
Note
Woke up early and was able to talk to Roger before heading down to breakfast around 6:15, where I had a waffle for Roger. Then off to the park for a 7 AM arrival.
Unloaded and started setting up the computers, and getting SI-cards to the vetters checking controls, etc. Things were a little crazy at first since it was immediately reported that two controls had been stolen. One would be found later in a nearby stream.
Nice large shelter, so we had plenty of room to set download up on the backside of where the screens were. This was a nice buffer zone.
Actually hanging the screens took longer then anticipated, and it was after 9 before everything was ready. I left Max to sort out how to view the start times for each class, and headed to the start. It was further away than I had imagined it to be and lots of uphill as well. After catching my breath, Tom was able to slot me in at 9:43, a later start then I had anticipated at the beginning of the day, so the pressure was on to have a good run and get back to relieve Sandy.
Linda C. from PTOC was assigned to the Results/Download area, and it was very handy to have an extra set of hands to get the many little tasks done. She also did the bulk of the downloading freeing up Sandy and I for the troubleshooting side of things.

I wasn't sure how the two week exercise break would affect me, and I was a little pooped getting to the start, but once the whistle blew, my competitive spirit kicked in, and it was off to the races.

1 PM
Note
The rain held off until just the last part of the day, and just before 2 PM, the last finishers checked in. Yeah! I like when everyone is accounted for so easily.
Linda got lunch for the Results crew which was much appreciated.
After going back to the hotel and getting some of the results up on the internet and a shower, it was off to Dick and Nancy's for a fine dinner with Sandy and Sharon C.
Back to the hotel by 8 PM, and tried to get some sleep.
