A lot of time on my feet, but just standing around taking care of day of event stuff. Most people seemed happy with the courses. I worried that Orange was too challenging but most people did what I expected and were fine. We didn't have a lot of DNFs so that was good.
Not many people took us up on the free sprint we added at the last minute but that's okay. More note paper for me. :)
Had awesome help with control pickup so didn't have to go back out again. Yay!
Times were on the longish side; I now have a whole new set of things to worry about for the Stumble, e.g. whether a lot of people will be out longer than 5 hours.
Hooboy - my abs are sore today! Guess yesterday's ab section really was tough.

Another outing of swatting mosquitos every time I stopped to put out a control. It was okay while I was moving so hopefully it won't be too bad for people on the courses tomorrow.
I spent another hour or so putting out controls in the camp area but I was lazy and drove my car around jumping out to small loops of 2 or 3 controls and then driving to the next group so I won't log that as training. In addition to saving some time it also gave me brief respites from the bugs.

The weather looked okay today but raining all day tomorrow so I went to HR and put out about half the controls for Sunday. I'll do the rest on Saturday.
The mosquitos were swarming me every time I stopped to put out a control. It was really bad. So bad that I almost quit after this first loop but then figured I should HTFU and I got out and did a second loop after a brief respite in my car. It was brutal!
