Looking at the write up, seems like a couple of guys crossed but couldn't hook the other guy's line.

At least they could cast to stay warm. Most of what I was doing was standing and waiting. Some of those kids don't understand much more than "follow the man in the orange T-shirt" so I couldn't wear a rain jacket when I was escorting them to the starting line. Then, I had to wait until they finished their race, and then take them over to get their medals. Plus, they wanted the volunteers there by 8:45 and the games didn't get going till 11, so by the time the whole thing started we were standing in the cold and wind over 2 hours, doing basically nothing.

It still was a fun and rewarding thing to do.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
