I know a secret technique for opening mangos taught me by a Wolof sorcerer. I was briefly a political appointee at the U.N. I am intimately familiar with a disciple of David Hume.

Well, we totally dusted the field and set a land speed record for non-vehicular human powered transport between Canada and the diner with the great pseudo-Mexican breakfasts in Langley, Washington. I'll let Cody fill everybody in on the details, but just wanted to pull my own weight. And come in first, that's always nice.

At least three pages must be written tonight before I can sleep--better get cracking!

Wow! you are super man 100,000.00 miles I think you are going to get alot of attention for that:) Great job on the relay.

I'll try to do a Ragnar entry that does it justice, but your analysis is pretty much right on. (You haven't slept yet, have you?)

Beauty race! Congrats.

Nice race guys. I actually thought about you guys as I was lining up for the "other" Seattle race today.

From Dale on Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 11:58:01

Great race! You ran your legs like a man possessed!!! Can't believe you were able to put your looming dissertation out of your mind but am glad you did! Super running!!!

Hey Aaron. Haven't seen you around the blog much. How are things? HAhaha for some reason I get the voices of Paul Sherwin and Phil Liggit in my head going "He's riding like a man possessed". From the tour of course.. replace riding with running and I can see them commentating on your race :)

Great job Aaron. It was fun running with you guys!
