I'm feeling pretty good about it really - the results were posted today and my offical place was 19th. 11 of my team mates were up in the main group (there was no break away) 7 vets and 4 of us newbies.

I really wish I knew what was going on behind me (heck I wish I knew what was happening in front of me for that matter , but I'm sure that comes with experience). I got to look at some photos today and the group definitely split near the end (from what others said there was an early split too - so there must have been at least 3 groups at some point). Some of the people who had been up near the front consistantly completely dissapeared. I do remember getting a feeling that suddenly there wasn't really anyone behind me and one of my team mates saying Eden go go go - I guess that must have been when it happened. Anyway - way cool to see my name up there - they reported up to 22, which must have been the front group. Can't wait until next weekend!
