Event: 2015 Corn Maze Champs
Note
Corn maze champs. A full day. Things were nicely under control until about 3 pm, meaning a leisurely time in the morning setting out controls and getting things organized. Low stress, everything cool.
And then the rest of the time, well, everything went fine, mostly, but a little more stress than I'd hoped. Mainly, I think, because we had more people than last year and I didn't factor that into planning. Just always a little less time and a little more to do.
And also a little because I had 5 controls for the trail O instead of three, which meant the scoring took longer. So I was always a little behind.
But at least everything worked. Like the e-punch. You hope it works but you never know. This time no problems. No mistakes putting out controls, no bad screw-ups.
And the stress notwithstanding, I actually really enjoyed the afternoon/evening, lots of laughs. It's just that things were (a lot) closer to the edge than I really wanted.
Got home afterwards (such a nice drive, just over a mile), nice visit from Kseniya and Nadia. Did a little bit of work but just really tired. So the usual stuff you hope to get done that evening, posting all results and maps, didn't get done until the next morning.
Getting old, clearly slipping....
