First off, I would like to thank George Schilling for helping me through the weekend and the weeks prior. His guidance really was priceless.

I was a little stressed, learned a ton, but had loads of support. So a big thanks goes out to all of the Chiefs and volunteers.

To the Berrys... you are awesome. You have a great way of teaching the processes at the events in a professional manner.
Thanks KJ for helping with combining the groups after lunch. I apologize to the competitors that were moved and had to wait.
Theo, I owe you a few lunches for your work. Good job.
Ed, your input and ideas on top of the coverage means a lot.
The Jardines again did a wonderful job at registration.

Stanley, thank you for lending your truck and trailer to clean course; Doug for staying late. We were able to pack everything up and finish at 5pm.
I can't say enough about Mark DeShon and Mike K. They deserve raises for their 3 days of hard work!

Last I would like to thanks Christine and QV for working together to provide a challenging safe course.

Bottom line dude? You got'er done. It may have been trial by fire but in the end, with a little/a lot (pick one) of help from your friends, YOU were in charge and it came off fine.

Thank you.

Way to step up and take on the huge job, Mike! Event ran great, considering the added complexity of the ladies school, etc.

+2. I wasn't about to throw myself on that grenade! I'm glad Mike was brave/foolhardy enough to do so. ;) Good job, Michael. This is a testament to your organizational skills.

Not to worry Mark. I'm think'n the leadership has boxes and boxes of "grenades". At least one has your name on it.

And let's have a big round of applause for Rick Brown, who always seems to have results posted within a day, if not sooner!

Even though I don't believe he was even at this event! So I suspect Christine must have been getting the auditing done super quick?

Christine, then!

Yep, Christine was the Timing Chief at this event and did all the hard stuff. I just prepped the download file before the event and she emailed me the files so I could generate the results.

San Diego is jealous of our Result posting quickness... they take weeks down there and it sucks. We are very lucky to have Rick, Mary, Christine etc, who all make it happen so quickly. We rarely wait more than 24 hours, and quite often much less than that.

:heyes:

Very thankful to have such a hard working and talented team to keep things running smoothly.

I wish I could have attended this event, but we had family commitments over the holiday.

Just want to thank Michael Smith for stepping up so big on behalf of our region. Its really nice to see Michael get so involved with the sport and become a core member. I proud to say I knew him when he was just "white rice". ;)

Wonder what the hold up is. They use the same software we do and they don't have course logs so auditing should be a lot easier, although I think they audit times which we don't anymore. The errors were so few and far between plus the competitors would quickly point out problems we decided it wasn't necessary. We are generally done with the auditing for the last group before the cones are picked up and put away. I've worked in their trailer and it's essentially the same as what we do.

They're all hippies down there... amirite?!!
