Discussion: 1000 Day Opening Sprint

The 1000 Day kicked off today with the opening sprint this afternoon, with perfect running conditions. After the race, the crowd got together and unanimously voted the race to be "one of the best one hundred or so sprints held in the US this year." There were no badger attacks, and how much luckier than that can you get?!

The top 11 results:
Mark Everett 16:55
Eric "gash" Bone 17:29
John Fredrickson 17:33
Samantha Saeger 19:26
Peter Gagarin 19:35
Hillary Saeger 19:42
Tom Carr 20:30
Alex Borashenko 20:39
Andrew Childs 21:12
Ed White 21:45
Maricel Olaru 22:00

And thanks to the following for pitching in and helping get the event off to a good start: Greg Lennon, Jim Eagleton, Mark Parsons, John Pascal, John Fredrickson, Kris Beecroft, and Brooke Mann (hope I'm not forgetting someone!)

Things pick up tomorrow with the Stampede.

And the Commissioner, well positioned as ever, with a WOC star virtually on each arm....

An image of the map would be nice for the best sprint of the year so far

You probably expect Peter has taken his scanner with him?

You do not need a scanner - all you need is a digital camera

There is a Kinko's on Grand Ave. Before you get to UW, but after the giant Wal-Mart.

I'll go investigate tomorrow after the prologue (a 40-pointer) and chase.

If anyone is interested, I can upload this event into RMOC's RouteGadget once you scan the map image. I'd also need to get the full list of results (from Kris?).

I sent a JPG of the course to Greg and Peter.

And it's here, blown up quite a bit (was 1:15,000).

Sure would have been a lot easier course for me if it looked like Peter's blow-up. It was pretty tiny-looking for a presbyopic old geezer.

Thank you!

RouteGadget is set-up for the Sprint. http://www.fortnet.org/RMOC/gadget/cgi-bin/reitti....

Thanks, Kris, for forwarding the complete results.
