I've done some large events before but probably not something of this magnitude. I bet it takes a number of miles before things settle down with a group that large.
I found out that Mark actually finished in 4:59 last year, which qualifies him for the "Platinum" group. They are allowed to start first which keeps them out of the mass of thousands of riders.
