While yesterday was hot and sunny, and I got a touch of sunburn, today was cool and overcast with a threat of rain most of the day. I, for one, was really appreciative of the cooler conditions.

The first event of the day was the Sprint.

Sandy and I drove to the Start and put out a radio control there and the repeater at R1. Again, we may have been able to skip the repeater at R1, but it wasn’t being used elsewhere, so we put it out there.

Sandy then set out the two GO controls at 136, and I set up the two USB wired controls at the Finish. Today, I used a little different computer configuration to deal with the wireless connection and the connection of the O-Lynx computer to the second computer being used for displaying information for Vladimir. That combination worked out well enough.

Though, it turns out that the USB wired controls at the Finish were a bit flaky because one had older firmware, and I was also using extenders to extend the cords further then is advised.

Anyway, here is Vladimir manning the mike. Photo courtesy of OCIN.

The White/Yellow Sprint course map

The Sprint course was a lot of fun with people going in different directions. I was surprised that I placed 4/22 on the course, but I think the youngsters were having issues keeping track of the 19 controls.

Distance was 1.6 km with 39 m of climb, finish time = 15:22.
