Well... we completed the race. Here are the high/low lights:

    • Unfortunately lost a team member to illness during the first two hours
    • By the first CP (check point) we were in dead last
    • We ended being the 6th team to complete the course
    • Only 15 teams finished
    • At race start they added 5 mile run, known as a prologue, just so that we the teams would be separated out and wouldn't follow each other.

For a full and humorus write-up by my team look here.

Here is the map we used for our race.  Sorry, no scale, the entire distance in yellow including the parts where the course overlapped was 80+ miles.

Here's an interesting article on the causes of spam:

Every day, millions of people receive dozens of unsolicited commercial e-mails (UCE), known popularly as "spam." Some users see spam as a minor annoyance, while others are so overwhelmed with spam that they are forced to switch e-mail addresses. This has led many Internet users to wonder: How did these people get my e-mail address?
