When I said "have fun" that's not the kind I expected. Hope the knee improves quickly, and that the social experiences (and prizes? did you get your rice?) make up for it somewhat.
Wow, that sounds like a tough weekend. Hope the knee improves soon. And it must feel strange to get a win out of that. At least, you got to visit with some friends.
Sorry that we didn't run into each other this weekend. It was strange how few people I saw over the two days. I'm also sorry to hear about the knee, but happy that you had a chance to experience the courses. It was pretty interesting terrain.
I was also surprised at how few people I saw over the weekend. Most of that was my leaving the events right after finishing - on Saturday to go ice my knee and on Sunday to get to the airport in time for my flight. But there were several people it would have been fun to chat with even if only briefly that I just never ran into.
