Sadness looms over SPQ
The last few days have been very intersting here at SPQ 04. On Tuesday, Nigel Aylott from team AROC, was killed by a boulder during the orienteering section. A decent article is here: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/192076_adventuredeath23.html. I found out late Wednesday night after hiking out from CP 23 which was shut down after the accident.
The past few days have been spent at TA6 just sitting around and doing whatever needed to be done. I helped with the kayaks on Friday and Saturday morning (6ish).
I’m back at HQ right now and I’m helping with the finish line. I’m handing out the national flags and the roses for the female racers. I’m hoping to see the GA and TN teams I know finish tonight. It’s nearly 12:30AM here and I should be up until about 4 or 6AM. Time to jet!
