Casey is right. I only won by a few point, and winning four Master's Challenges in a row would be tough.
I have always said WI is a tough comp. We have great climbers: Aaron, Mike, Chris, Mark Dob... Congrats to Jamie Remme for winning the work climb! Good to see Rob. Thanks for coming down to school us all, and Homer for showing us you can stay competitive well into your Golden years. Way to stand tall for the city of Madison, keeping two hands on the saw, Zac, Justin and Jake!
Thanks to Mike Wendt for the tough decisions that kept it safe for all of us. Thanks, too to all the judges and volunteers that missed a day of work and worked hard to do this for us! Thanks, Norm for being Head Judge, and staying unbiased. My wife enjoyed the announcement "Did not say 'Stand Clear'!" which cost me a whole work climb station. Thanks, Gregg Good for helping set up! Hope your parents had a great anniversary celebration!
I will be proud to represent you all in Chicago.
