Kansas State Champs at Washburn University in Topeka. Great venue and Gene had made a great map. I helped out with set up, then started early, since I'm slow. And I forgot to use my inhaler. Bad me.
Good navigation until I got to the 9-10 leg. I had a really hard time trying to see the no. 10 circle, and it threw me off, so I had to relocate. Satisfied with my route choices otherwise. Going to 18 ok, when a woman stopped me to question where we were, and where I was going, which got me distracted again, but not as bad as going to 10.
Afterward, I helped to pick up controls. I only had to pick up three, but one included a five-gallon bucket of potting soil to carry back. Then we all went to lunch.
I had spent the night before with my daughter in Lawrence, so it was altogether a great weekend.
