Can you start early to avoid so much congestion? Just wondering.
That is why I always avoid the mass start, and it is pretty easy to do. Just start a few blocks from the start line on Scott, and be sure to wait until all the racers take off and go by so that you do not get in their way. A lot of people do it this way because the mass start is so scary and slow.
