Mark, thanks for posting - it was fun to read and reminisce.
I remember having to rush like that at a couple of contests. It is tough rushing to get two flights in, then spending a lot of time waiting. I didn't feel that we waited very long in St. Clairsville though. I think a lot of the rushing has to do with the smaller population in Sportsman. I don't recall rushing like that since I moved to Intermediate but I don't remember.
Nice job taking the first couple of flights at your first contest! Every contest is fun, different, and a learning experience. I am really enjoying the opportunity to get to know the D4 crowd, they are a really good group of guys.
2.5 weeks to the final contest in Muncie (I think there is one more before that in Michigan which I won't make) - hope to see y'all there!
