The Green Race according to Hale
(i.e. how its gonna be from now on)

75 Racers showed up for the 10th Annual Green Race. Possibly 500 spectators hiked in to watch. This is the best showing ever.

Thank you everybody but I would like to thank Al Gregory for getting us the water. It was a nice guarantee. I would also like to thank Liquidlogic and Astral Buoyancy for the awesome free food and party at Liquidlogic.

Dixie Marree, Christie Dobson, Jessie Rice and Molly I wanna thank you BIG BIG for the time keeping. Let’s not forget a huge thank you to the elusive Todd Grafe for the beautiful piece of Glass that we all crave so much.
