Go-Time is 5:50am on Saturday!

Yes, you read that correctly!  The race for team R2R Team 8 Flightsuit Fanatics starts at 5:50am!

Those of you who know me know that's damn early, but I'll make it happen!  Hey, the guys at our marina tell me I'm showing up early if I make it there before noon.  This will really show 'em, won't it?!

This year, the race is starting in waves rather than an all-at-once, shotgun-type start.  Here's the logic/rationale according to the Keys100 website: "The 100 mile team relay race will start at 5:45 AM with elite teams (those expecting to finish under 12 hours).  Subsequent waves of 25 will begin at 5-minute intervals thereafter.  The starting order will be based upon registration date: the earlier the team registered, the earlier will be their starting time."

You probably noticed that we're not starting at 5:45am.  Hence, we are not an "elite team."  That's ok; our plan is still to go out there & kick some major ass!
