So they have us show up at 5am to regisiter, but they didn't register us. We got to listen to a ill-conceived speech about Memorial Day, instead. Sheesh.
This is kinda a PR. There was an alarm during the race and I had to lie in a ditch for a minute. Everyone was supposed to, but not everyone listened. The guy next to me kept yelling for people to take cover, but they ignored him. Eventually everyone got up and started running. Apparently it's more important to get a decent time than be safe.
My moving pace was 6:50, my pace including ducking for cover was 7:11. Not sure if I could have held a 6:50 if it weren't for the break...
2x400m sprints with VFF as part a warmup for Crossfit.
This is Bedrock on Camp Slayer near Baghdad. Saddam built it for his grandkids. I was experimenting with the photo stitching function on my camera. Those Canon camera scientists have dumbed it down enough to make it Mike-proof.
