Sign of the times

I invented "splits cash" about 18 months ago.  It's the system where I pay $1 to the kids for each faster leg split they do when we run the same orienteering course.  For the first 6 months I just needed to NOT make a mistake and I'd be ok as the kids were still stopping at each control and generally dithering around.  

Yesterday at Knocklofty I had a pretty good run with just a few dumb moments and Jett beat me overall by 20 seconds as well as on 12 of 16 controls. Zali (who was pretty tired from a stack of otehr activities) even managed to get a few dollers off me. Hmmph.  I think that the system will soon needs to reverse such that they'll be paying me if I manage to squeak a win.
