count it down

Sedition commences in t minus 21 hours.

Jonnys G & S, Unger and myself just got back from a test run of the course. The conditions are perfect right now. This morning's freezing rain ended up not posing a problem at all. Not only was it not slippery, it seemed to make things grippier. And it looks like we'll be spared the snow, so the course should be super sweet.

The course is 13.5 kms. It took us 48 minutes to complete one lap--at a very relaxed pace. So a 45-50 minute lap is probably about as long as can be expected, unless something bad happens. By comparison, last year there were many laps that took as long as an hour and a half.

Colin, we're counting on you to bring the Big Lebowski. I hope that's okay.

The schedule:

9:00 am - coffee & cinnamon buns
9:30 am - draw for teams
10:00 am - le grand depart
Sal's lap, Big Lebowski, dogfest, etc. - TBD

Startlist:

Paddy
Naomi
Ian
Brad
Dave L
Hal
Jonny B
Jonny N
Tomek
Vic
Johnny S
Luc
Colin
Jonny G
Penner
Chris
Unger
Secretary
Dallas
Juan Eppstein
James
LeAnn
Aiden
Adam?
Lindsay?

If you're not giddy with excitement, well . . . you should be. But this should help.

I showed up at 2pm after my long run thinking I was a few laps behind then realized after talking to Paddy I was a day early.
Oh well at least I know where your pad is now:)
