the first 7 were point to point: secret locations given out at the previous ckeckpoint, etc. At the 7th we were given a list of 6 more to complete in any order before coming back to the finish. the top ten all finished within 3 minutes of eachother, in what was a shockingly fast race. (john winslow, the organizer, expected the winners to take about 45 minutes, yet they actually completed it it under 35.) Chris Schmidt lead the race a good deal of the way, yet never quite pulled away, crossing just seconds ahead of Eric Romain. By our calculation, Barry's 6th place along with his Minneapolis finish should put him in first in the T2 series.
