Well, the idea was to approach the line at a 'walking pace', and keeping even with your opponent. Then once you cross the sprint line, anything goes. Keith and I didn't start sprinting until we probably only had about 80m to go, if I remember correctly. I'm fairly certain we were the only ones that didn't hammer right from the line though.

And yeah, it's been bright and sunny up this way since late this morning. I went for a little spin after I ate lunch though and I noticed that all the buildings down in the financial core seemed to be still totally buried in fog. Would have been a good photography morning/day.
