Doug, congratulations!!       Very well done.    I was really surprised at the 17/25... yep, 50 is much better.   Though I still would expect your time to place higher.   (wishful thinking on my part, maybe?  )

Thanks for such an enjoyable report.  Love the way you described the race.  I'd wondered about it a little after I checked into it.  

What a great year for you.     What do you think you've done that has made it such a success?     I want to try it.

Way to go.
