Temporary insanity? Tiredness? Low bood sugar? I have given such explanations for similarly rediculous bids (typically on my last day of a multi-day tournament).

A good reminder of why I should avoid Express/Indy tournaments.

In that case I will add consumption of adult beverages to my possible explanations for the bid.

There's a difference: Indys are bad bridge, but Express is not bridge.

Switch the ♥J out for the ♥8, and the ♦8 out for the ♦J, and I would have voted for 3♦.

Add one more club rather than a diamond then its not bad with low risk. Partner has four spades, he should bid diamonds.
