A few quick notes about the US Champs
I'll write more soon, but I thought I'd better write a few lines.
Mary won! Mary won the F35 US Championship (2nd overall in F35 and first among the US eligible competitors). That was quite cool. She's been aiming for the US Champs for the last year or so. It always feels good to reach your goal. In the last week or so, I noticed she was getting a bit nervous -- would she keep it together? She did.
A trip to the ER. I ran into a tree on day two. I was running along and took a look at the map. When I looked up, there was a tree in my face. I smacked into the tree. It didn't seem like much, but when I finished I was dripping blood from a gash just below my eye. The first-aid guy cleaned me up and suggested visiting a doctor as soon as practical. Not wanting to miss our flight home, I decided to go to the local ER in KC. I managed to be out of there in about three hours after having the cut thoroughly cleaned and then glued shut.
When I finished, a couple of friends first thought was to grab a camera and take a snapshot. Look for a photo as soon as I get a copy.
