Pre-race routine:

Got up, ate cereal and a banana, got the car loaded, and got going to the park. I registered when I got there (missed the online deadline). They didn't have a bib for me to wear (which I thought was weird), but I was told I was #166.... Long story short, they had timing issues and "duplicate" entries. I wasn't even on the results! I talked with the timing dood, and the overall time they came up with is NOWHERE near my stopwatch time, so I'm going with my time, not theirs.
