WT and Epic have roughly the same distance. Yet the terrain is so different, it'll be a struggle to complete it in 30 hours instead of slightly over half of that!
It does look like we have fastest US team on lock. Perhaps a missed opportunity for the team name:

Eager to fix my Epic troubles, I decided to go for a full pull, but in hindsight I should have driven in, biked home, and then biked in tomorrow. Or slept more last night. I was a couple minutes late for my early call in, so I fielded it outside sitting on some shady rocks near the building.
truckerfixing - deployed new no-swamps-allowed bike shoes for use on commutes. They have new 0 float cleats (I didn't realize they were float free when I ordered them), so I'll pay attention and see if there's any discomfort. New mountain cleats are the floating versions.

Steps up to the library must be higher than I thought.
I biked too slowly to snag John Wick 2, looks like Passengers instead.
