I had the good fortune of competing yesterday at Course Brook Farm in Sherborn, Massachusetts and — phew! — it was a hot one! I can’t say enough good things about this event though. This was my first recognized competition in a couple of years so the nerves were flowing, plus the current heat wave we’re experiencing didn’t make things any easier. But the number of smiling faces making sure that everything was running smoothly and everyone was well-hydrated really helped to put me at ease. Thank you, thank you to all the organizers and the incredible volunteers to who hung out in the heat all day long.
Course Brook is running over two days, so they’ll be back at it again today! Thank you ahead of time to all of today’s volunteers, good luck to today’s competitors, and also don’t forget to check out your photos later this week or next from Joan Davis of Flatflandsfoto who has been sitting out in the sun capturing memories for all of us!
