Tango OCD

I'm not positive of all the details here. I do know it would be good to decide some of this beforehand so there are no questions. Maija had to hitchhike a ride from Bart Vashaw to the canoe start last year.
I also didn't see Mrs. Cerra before my swim. I was just kind of hoping they'd arrived while I was waiting for the tag from Craig.
Then of course the Vehicle shuffle. If we take too many cars up. We could be short drivers back into town at the end.
Take a look and make some comments. I'm sure I made mistakes. I wrote it up on the train this morning on the way in.

7AM RUN START AT THE YMCA
Shoes, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, nutrition and hydration

Jerry will have Truck with KB2’s Canoe
Matt will have car with Genine’s Bike
Craig will have car with His bike

Matt will drive Genine, Maija, Ellis To the next event
Jerry will drive Michelle to the next event
Craig will drive
Jim will drive? Chris? If we have 5 cars we only have 4 drivers from the Canoe Start.
Does someone need to drive Cindy’s car to Kinzua?

BIKE START AT KINZUA BEACH

I think you need to stop worrying about KB2. If they want to race let them get their stuff where it needs to be. Also, Jerry seems to be wanting to help them a lot. Is he worried about where he will sleep Saturday night? :)

A lot of questions for trying to figure things out. The part you left out is that Shawn and Bart's support is going to have loads of time to assist anyone else who needs it. :)

It is looking good. My parents are always available to get someone back somewhere.

I may run after orienteering. The 4.5 mile run. For fun, not in the race. We will see. I also can maybe drive someones car. Not sure if Mr. Coopersen will be joining me.

I can do whatever needs to be done.

OCD,...understatement?? Slow day at work?

Got a call from the YMCA today. They want everyone that can make it to come to the Y at 6pm to pick up packets and get numbers on. The meeting will still take place at 7.

As for the projections, 1:15 might be ambitious for the orienteering. We will see. 33 maybe doable for the 4.5 depending on whether the orienteering takes 1:15 or 2:09

You won't have to drag me along, so you should be faster this year. Then again, there will be no bull elephant to clear the jungle undergrowth for your skinny legs.

I put times in on the chart that would motivate us... and make sure that we are at the start of each leg early, rather than just in time.

I know my list is kind of overboard. Just trying to eliminate stuff like. No safety canoe like Shawn last year. Maija looking for a ride to the canoe start. Or spectators wondering when they need to be somewhere to see you finish a leg.

I spend 2.5 or so hours on the train everyday. I've got time to think about stuff like this. :-)
