The Technique
Learned something very valuable today...I call it "the technique". Here's how it works. If you hit a cone early in your run, you go around pointing at all the cones until you find one that is not in the right place. If you are lucky enough to find some lazy course workers, you may just find a misplaced cone, and you'll earn yourself a re-run. One guy actually have 5 re-runs today with this "technique"...very valuable. I don't know if I have enough skill to look at the course and look for misplaced cones. I have a hard enough time avoiding cones at this point

so, now I can see how a professional photographer looks like....Jason, does this guy come to all the events to sell the photos? I love the quality...what nice equipment can do...
Wow, you guys went off with the picture taking. Did you have to decrease the quality to get them uploaded? I'd be interested in the originals, maybe you could email 'em to me?
I gotta work on the cone pointing deal too. I've seen the Isleys get tons of re-runs with that "technique". BTW, I was the only one driving. My passenger during X runs was "visitor". He only posts stupid stuff that only he thinks is funny, but you can't blame him... he drives a ford ranger with no shocks and rode the short bus to school.

So, I'm just wondering if anyone else is interested in doing the runs in San Diego. I purchased the region card so that I can get into the practice events down there now...Jason says they don't fill up as fast at that we would have a good chance of getting in.

"Visitor"...I can tell he rode the short bus from his avatar

STUL
I have heard the ladies in that class asked for a change, they don't like being STUL.

btw this does not work if you get a DNF, if you go off course and find a down cone your are SOL, there are no reruns for a DNF.
