Happy Monkeys: Prior to the start, everybody is happy. We'll see if we look happy at the finish.

Walking to the Start: Our hotel was less than a half mile from the start, just for this reason.

Potty Line: How do I always end up in the slowest potty line?
Dennis is ready to go!

Sitting at the Start: A monkey tradition. We find a spot about where we want to start and just plop down for the last 15 minutes before the start.

Those Ahead and Behind: We're pretty close to the beginning again, with many, many behind us. Near 9000 total entrants

Blurry Pack: Running in the pack.

SteelBridge: You see this bridge 3 times in the race: mile 1, mile 5, and mile 25. The third time is by far the best.

Crossing Paths: Dozer took off at 7:50s for the first half, with Foo struggling to keep up. Dennis was targetted on 10:30s, and Jason was his wing man. Here all the monkeys meet on a back-track of the course between miles 7 and 11. Next time we'll all do a square-dance.
