Raceday this year was a mad sprint to the finish. April is the toughest month at work and it made for some wild days leading up to the event but it was all worth it. This year's race was more than interesting with the amount of staff and committee turnover but in the end we pulled it all together. I was chair of operations for the second straight year. It's a position that I feel more and more comfortable with but still keeps me on my toes.
The weather this year did not cooperate at all. This is the craziest spring I can remember. It rained both setup days and on raceday. Luckily we avoided lightning, tornadoes, and snow. I never dreamed snow would be a possibility but since we just had 2 days of snow the week AFTER THE RACE I thought I'd mention it.
I went through three sets of clothes on Friday but Saturday came without a hiccup. Unless you count every outlet used by sponsors being attached to wet GFI's that constantly tripped a hiccup. In that case we had a few hiccups. Jenna is already making her comments about me "retiring" from active race service. I just nod and tell her she's probably right but we have plenty of time to discuss it (and for me to change her mind).
