Yes, I "cheated" too, but I was really only cheating the heat. I woke up at 5:00 AM so I could be ready to rde by 7:00 AM. I started with Arthur and Linda Adams at a bit past 7:00 (maybe ten or fifteen after).

Even with all the head start, the heat felt fairly brutal by the time I got back to Glendora.

I know the "official" start time was 8:00 AM, but to me, that just didn't make sense at this time of year and in this kind of heat. Maybe in Nov, Dec, Jan. or Feb. but not the first part of Sept!

Whenever it was that caligurl started, it was after me!
