Until we meet again...

If you couldn't tell from the pictures that were just posted, we were finally able to get hooked up to the internet on my laptop at the clubhouse. One of the OK Tyr club members came by at around midnight last night and hooked it up for us (thank you, thank you, thank you!) It was perfect timing as well since we are taking this morning off before our long courses tonight so I had the chance to up load some pics and post them.

Last night everyone ran well, despite some technical problems with the course setting. Two of the controls codes were switched and one of those controls were hung wrong as well. Almost every course shared at least one of those controls too so everyone got to the control and did a bit of head scratching because the code was wrong. Unfortunately, they will have to throw the courses that were affected by this error out, which is a shame because many of the juniors ran quite well (myself included!)

Tonight's race is a chase start and the courses will be about 1km longer than they have been so that is why we are taking the morning off. It is our final race in Karlstad before our little group of Americans parts ways until the Oringen.

Here is where every one is off to next: The Childs family along with Gabe, Nate, Emily, and Anna are departing after our race tonight for Stockholm - all, (except Anna, who is heading off to the Czech Republic for the WOC spectator race) are then taking a ferry to Finland to run the Fin-5 and then heading to Oringen. Randy and Tourgney (our Swedish friend that has been training with us) are heading back to Tourgney's family and picking up Molly and then heading off to explore the Norwegian fjords. Our group (Janet, Corinne, Alison, Huw, and John) are departing Saturday morning for Branke-Hoby on the very southern tip of Sweden to stay a few days with the Hakansson family and the on to Gothenborg for a night and then on to Oslo for some sightseeing before heading to Oringen.

See everyone at Oringen soon!
