Thanks! I'm not really sure if the smooth event was because we were just
lucky, or the sub 200 turn out, or our constant stressing on keeping things
rolling...probably a combination of all the above.

Since the 5th group can't start until 1, Ben and I had figured ahead of time
that the first 4 groups would have to finish by 12:30 to get any fun runs
in. When we finished off the first 4 groups by 11:30, we were ecstatic to
say the least.

Hahahahahahaa.....yeah, it works pretty good, plus the red driving gloves so
I can see what my hands are doing. It's a normal 37mm camcorder lens I
picked up from www.profeel.com in case anybody is interested. I also had a
polarizing filter on the camera yesterday, but should have taken it off as
the clouds came in, but I didn't have time (that's why it looks a little
dark).
