Well, I've not had time to devote to this weblog for the last week or so. Too much wilderness first responder class . . . my head is full of spine injuries, shock indicators, giardia, vital signs, and lots of emergency medical stuff. It was a lot of fun and
First Lead is a great outfit; I learned a great deal, but I feel like I've been in a cone of silence for the whole time. I'm behind on just about everything, including a few loose ends with the
June race etc. If you're waiting on me for emails, bare with me.
By the way, our house has been on the market, got an offer, and is now under contract with the home inspection now completed. All since I've been away in Colorado. I guess we really are moving, since our house has new owners waiting in the wings (I've even started eyeing my first
Swiss event in mid-July that
Marshall turned me on to). The fact the house sold so quickly might bump our moving schedule up just a tad; maybe I'll live out in Charlottesville for the final month of my Virginia tenure, I'll be out there a lot in prep for the Untamed Virginia race anyway. That event is shaping up nicely, but there will be a change to the
RipBoard clinic scheduled for June 2 -- it looks like RipBoard will do a clinic in April and another in May, instead, due to some manufacturing challenges RipBoard needs to deal with. Like a lot of things for me lately, once the details get ironed out they'll find their way to the website and into registered competitors' email inboxes; speaking of which, we're behind on updating the
list of registered teams for the race and I'd now estimate there's only about 10 team spots left for Untamed VA. I know the support crew thing is a pain, but it seems teams are managing OK for this Charlottesville race. It will be the last
support crew required race that I organize, barring significant changes in the AR scene; in the future,
Untamed Adventure events will do the gear staging for teams.
My travels aren't over, however, as a death in the family will take us up to New Hampshire for this week. That means, besides not getting any "real computer nerd work" done, there will be no
race in Georgia for me next weekend. If there's a team out there that wants our spot in that Georgia race, I can hook you up really cheap. Really cheap.
