Steve Barnhart's brown course at Grant Park. Skipped control 4 out of some sort of sheer blind stupidity. Otherwise a fairly decent run. Lost about 3 minutes overshooting number 8 and 1:20 or so overshooting number 14.

Putting out 16 controls and picking up 7. Mitchell Memorial Forest.

Topo Adventures trail run at Mitchell. About 1/3 blacktop, 1/3 gravel, 1/3 grass (mostly a bit slick and wet). The originally planned 4 mile route was shortened due to closure of the mountain bike trails. Considered doing the 6 mile (2 loops), but still had 4 controls to set out for the O meet, plus all of the start/finish/registration setup.

Setting controls for school program. Approximately 225 4th and 5th graders tried the 11 control score course in nine 30 minute sessions. Assisted by Skyler Hertel (computer) and Ben Hart (starts and round-up of stray kids).

Biggest challenge of the day was when a class of kids showed up in the wrong time slot. I had just finished briefing them and was mid-way through passing out SI cards and starting them when another class showed up "We're supposed to be here and they are not!". Oops. Some kids were already off on the course. So I then had to do a quick briefing and start a whole second class while Skyler furiously entered names into the computer. Both classes ended up getting a few extra minutes, to the probable dismay of the presenters of their next activity.

Talawanda Springs loop with Mpage and Jordan. Skyler did the first half mile with us, but turned back when one of his shoes began to lose its sole.
