[RC] NAEC: 2005 North American Championship - Wednesday - Steph TeeterMaryland! I arrived here this afternoon - cool and damp, a week of rain and everything is a little soggy, but good weather forecast for the weekend. Thing seem to be in great shape for the event. Well organized, beautiful facility (a huge horsey complex - all disciplines, plus a race-track too). State Department of Natural Resource seems to be an integral part of the area, and the complex, but I haven't quite figured it all out yet. The officials had their second official officials meeting today - nice group (big group) - so many familiar faces, at FEI events around the world. It's great being part of a small, but intense and focused sport - many opportunities to work together in different places - but all for the same purpose. The 'Social' was tonight - hosted by USA East - a nice wine and cheese party, country music, lots of happy folks, even some wild dancers. There are some photos of the party at http://www.endurance.net/international/2005naec/ . some good ones :) Tommorow, tour of the course, more meetings, Opening Ceremonies. I hope to get to the barns to see the horses and talk to some more folks. Lots were here tonight, but not everybody. Lots of info, and tentative start list at http://naec.fairhillinternational.com/ Steph =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
