American Rendezvous 2

Holy freaking awesome.

More later after I gather my thoughts and subject myself to a Marquis de Sade-grade session on the foam roller.

JTTEOTN Aftermath

Last night’s Journey To the End Of the Night Chicago 2011 map:

The bottom of the map are checkpoint signatures: you get one signature per checkpoint visited. The time on the front is the time it took me to do the course, and was something I wrote after being told my time from the organizer at the final checkpoint. I’m pretty proud of that time, especially since I did the whole thing on foot.

I checked in 8th. Not sure what that’s out of, except that it’s well over 100. Final statistics will probably show up on http://chicag0.org sometime.

I didn’t finish un-tagged: I was tagged about a block away from the safe zone at checkpoint 6, and I’m going to be kicking myself for not having that final sprint in me for quite a while, because I totally could have finished both 8th and alive. But that’s okay — there’s next year.

Verdict: massive fun, A++++, will do again.
