Course set-check-pick 3:45:00 [2] 8.9 km (25:17 / km)
shoes: Adidas $42 Cleats
Picked up 19 controls from the relay. I got everything left of the big stream plus 177. Bill Swift got everything else from the relay and the sprint. I'm 95% sure every control was out of the woods by dark on Sunday. That's amazing. I'm ready for a break. That was a pretty crazy two weeks. Whew!
Probably the biggest surprise for me was how well the bib number/map number thing worked with my SportIdent set-up (the software class/course set-up), although it did take me a while to find a way to get the finish clock times out of it.
The 2nd biggest surprise for me was that the relay seemed to be as successful as it was. I thought it was exciting, with a fairly small event center so people would be packed together (which was my plan). About 6 or 7 weeks ago, I was standing in the ice-cold rain for about 10 minutes looking at that area with the restrooms thinking it was the place.
Something that is no longer a surprise is the level of support in OCIN to make something like this come off. It's like volunteers just show up knowing what they're supposed to do. I think Mike handles all the asking volunteers---It's pretty amazing.
I'll look for a better place to do this, but I really need to thank everyone who helped make the weekend a success. The one most visible to me was Wyatt Riley, who stepped in and helped in the transition area, but really, these events wouldn't be so smooth if there wasn't so much help. They wouldn't happen at all if there wasn't so much help.
