4th Event, 3 days, 1 tired person

September 13, 2009

Actually I assumed there are 2600 tired people.

Thursday I got up at some really early hour to take a friend to the airport.
Friday I got up at 3 to get to the 3-Day to start work at 4 AM, last bit of work at 9 PM  – shower around 9:30 PM, bed in tent followed.
Saturday I got up at 3:30 to get to work on the 3-Day at 4 AM – finished work at 10:30 PM – no shower, bed in tent followed.
Sunday I got up at 3:30 to get to work on the 3-Day at 4 AM – finished work around noon. Walkers finished between noon and 3:30. Closing ceremony at 4:30. Dinner out (Halibut cakes – ummmmmmmmm).

Time for a shower and bed (almost 8 PM).

Funniest bit that shows how tired I was this morning.
Packed up my stuff and put it on the gear truck around 5 AM.
Carl to pick it up at closing, goes to the Y truck (I was tent site Y72).
Can’t find it and calls me, worried.
Then I remember the gear truck person asking me if I was H or I.
I said, “H” and gave them my bag.
None of us looked at the tag that said Y72.
Luckily I actually remembered that brief exchange when Carl called.
H was my row of tents during the Michigan 3-Day Walk about 1 month ago.

Well, I thought it was funny, but then I am sleep deprived.
