It's hard to beat breakfast at 5:30am on race day.
Don't look so happy... The good folks in the kitchen back there and many others, were preparing our breakfast and setting up the tables for us long before we woke up!
We seem to be a little happier at 6:30am on the bus ride to our starting assignments. The breakfast helped...
...and they're off! ...and we know enough to stand out of the way while we wait to begin our assignment!

We may be a little tired and even a bit giddy, but gosh, it feels good to be on our way back.
