Sorry, we've been a tad busy...

Eventually, I'll figure out how to link the starter clues we get in PDF format, but until then struggle on using your imagination. We had 2 races after the Mini-Cooper event, and either we got lucky, or Anji simply rocks at solving clues, along with Dan and Mo, both of whom teamed up on separate races to help us bring in the 1st place. So, to date, we have raced 5 times, taken 6th, then 2nd (grrr, by 20 seconds, darnit!) and then 3 straight 1st place victories.

We are headed to Washington D.C. this weekend for the Lucky 7 race, meeting up with trusty Dan for a practice run through the city that will be our first challenge next weekend, en route to Richmond, VA for a breather at home, and most likely a lot of late night laundry work.

We will have the comps with us, and as such, will all do our best to update all 3 of you who are reading this. Enjoy the 4th of July holiday, and I'll try to give a better race breakdown when I'm not trying to solve the starter clue they sent us, which will probably be held accountable for the anyureism I'm about to have.

This stuff is HARD. I'm a cook, not a cryptoanalyst, dammit!

More later.

Best quote overheard as we walked away with our lovely tacky trophy, "Whoa, watch out for them - they're Serious Racers!" stated by one team to another whilst surreptitiously pointing at us.


If they only knew how amateur I am - or is that immature? Again, thanks to all fellow A2 race members, Ute, you were awesome this weekend, glad to have you join the roster. I wouldn't put it on your resume for post grad work, tho...

OK, time for a nap before the 4th Grill-out and cypher solving.
