A recent glance at the USOF schedule reveals that no host is scheduled for the 2000 relay chumps. I was really hoping that there would be a bid made and decision reached at the US classic chumps a week ago, but that now appears to have been a pipe dream.

Since OK exists to compete at the relays where does this leave us? Should we even bother to train now? It would be horrible to train and train and train all winter, then wake up one Spring morning only to realize that it was all in vain. Is there another meet we can aim towards instead? Shall we make a bid for the crystals? Different teams win those relays and it won't necessarily be a cake walk.

I have also noticed that the relays have not yet been scheduled. It worries me a bit. But, I don't see any reason to give up on winning the next relays whenever and where ever they may be.

One relay that is already scheduled is the Crystal Relays (part of next Summer's Wyoming-based Rocky Mountain "1000 days"). We might try to put together a team for that event.

I take it we need to find a replacement for Mook on the team. He never should have been allowed to look at that Altos home page. His faith appears to have been sapped by that wicked page. Anybody who is interested in running for the OK team please submit an application with the standard USOF OK lack of faith replacement form. Please indicate zero point member on line 23.

I move that Dan's comments on this matter be stricken from the record.

Mook, you have to cut Dan some slack. Afterall, he did start orienteering as a member of SLOC!

Who is this Mook person? Like the Man in the Mook? Why can the Mook not run in the relay? Sisu.
