Off topic: Epic unicycle race write-up

Though this is a juggling forum, I thought there may be some crossover
interest. Also, one team at this race, team "HURT", was comprised of 3
hardcore jugglers, and I was hoping they may see this here. They were
Heather Marriot and David Davis from Arizona, and Will Murray from Cali.

Anyway, I, along with my teammates Roland and Vince, on a team called
"Personal Rollercoaster", competed in a first-of-its-kind unicycle race
called ?Ride The Lobster? from June 16 through June 20, 2008. It was a
relay race in five stages, running from one end of Nova Scotia to the
other, a distance of over 500 miles. There were 35 teams from all over
the world, including New Zealand, Singapore, Korea, all over Europe, and
more. We hoped we could make it into the top 10.

This write-up is extremely long, because this event was a week-long epic.
Please don?t worry if you don?t want to read it. If you're so inclined,
you can go here: http://www.ridethelobster.com/race/rankings.php for the
rankings to cut through all my storytelling. I promise I won?t take any
offense.

For those of you with reading specs on, too much time to kill, here?s the
whole enchilada:
