Note

Haha so not to be an ass but true confessions, I'm semi-wondering if this is actually me here. Reasons being:

1. Eric was wearing the no-sleeves sprint US top for this race, while I was wearing the short-sleeve top; it's a little hard to make out but I think this guy is wearing short sleeves - you can sort of tell at the end of the video.

2. I remember taking the over-the-top route into the control (17) at the beginning of the video which was actually a sub-optimal route that Eric probably was smart enough not to take.

3. I've had a lot of good views (mainly from behind or while being passed) of Eric's running style over the years; he is more of a long-striding loper than this guy seems to be.

4. The drone definitely followed me for this entire stretch, and I definitely took those exact routes to 18, 19, and on the way to 20.

The video also appears to be considerably sped up - Leg 18 takes Video Man 0:23, while the fastest real-time split was 0:37.

Regardless, this is way awesome stuff and it's super cool of Kelsey to take the effort to make it happen.
