Good race. We had The Gathering, Helloween, then Powerslave on the drive, so it was impossible not to be fired up. The excessive heat was also welcome, which I tend to thrive in perhaps more than my competition.

Kept up a good steady pace, and only boom was #37, and it was only 30-45 seconds or so. Felt I had the optimal route on all the windows except the first one, which was a train wreck. Most green and slash on the map were totally white woods, so the routes look odder than they are.

Finished 5th, which I think is best case. No interesting stories -- I ran pretty much the entire race by myself. Best part was running in the river on the route to the last window. Not only do I think that was the best route, the cooling benefit I think was helpful. Someone drank some of my Gatorade, perhaps it is not clear that it is BYOB on these sorts of things. And I saw someone drink directly from the water jug. I wonder if Ted Good (who was with me at the time), and myself are the only ones disgusted by that. We both took the time to open a fresh one. I guess that's the extent of my interesting stories.

Fine organization -- nothing to whine about except a couple of map issues, which I'll let pass.
