Spring MouseAdventure 2009

[Ghoulish Delight]

Pretty much ditto to everything CP said.

I really have no way of judging whether we're getting worse or the competition is getting better. A bit of both perhaps. It's just strange when 4 years ago, we did miserably on two early quests, only to learn after the 2nd abismal quest that we were in 3rd place. Compared to this time, after doing horrendously on two quests and learning that we were in 2nd-to-last place.

Did we do MORE miserably than last time? Or did everyone else just do better?

On the plus side, from that point on, we were much improved. By the time we got into DCA we were "middle of the pack". Some of that was due to the nature of the game, the rides on transportation forcing teams to bunch up in certain spots. But it was also due to improved problem solving over the morning disasters, and we did hit a stride.

I definitely felt like I didn't want to do this to myself again. Of course, we're afforded some time to consider it since we're not doing the Florida one in October. We'll see how we feel once next year's spring registration opens.
