Yes, thanks all. It was easy to get first in your age group when you're the only one in your age group and your nearest competitor is 20+ years your junior. I just got back to Moscow and it is 12:15 am. I have tomorrow off from work and will work a blog entry (go to my blog and comment, dammit! And not the USMS blog.) with pictures, to include the "seed" sheet (truly embarassing).
