Amtrak crew is back in Chicago.
Monstertrack was really fun! props to all racers and organizers. I met lots of great folks at Rocky's. Shouts to s_9, chombo, mareesha, fixednotbroken, and everyone else i spoke to in a drunken blur.
Finished 101st, which i can live with... pretty sure my time would have been significantly better had i not followed someone to the same checkpoint twice. he took a different route to the "tree" C.P. and i didn't realize it till we got to the park. Thankfully i ran into Salome and Msngr who kindly escorted me across the bridge to
king kog. Thanks guys, and Msngr heal up quick! same to you boots. That looked like some painful shizz.
Whoever suggested keeping tire pressure low, THANK YOU. those nyc streets are rufff.
I can't get those words out of my head from the start up on that hill:
YOU WANT THE BEST YOU GOT THE BEST! MONSTERTRACK GO!
freakin awesome time.
