    Race recap: Expectations exceeded. Had to start in wave #2 based on age (2 minutes after wave #1 which included ages 30-49) - caught and passed 132 people from wave #1, and finished 13th out of 236 overall. Can't believe I didn't loose my voice from all the "on your left/right". Looked like Jake/Mielke/Russ were killing it too.

    I saw all of you guys killing it at the Meltdown. Sure that radiation didn't give you super human powers for the day? Nice work!
