Journey to the End of the Night: Glasnost by spotlight skullshines
June 25th, 2007 3:40 PM
I ran to the top of the coit tower from the ferry building!
and from that point on i pretty much jogged a block walked a block jogged a block walked a block my way to the end of the night.
i got crazy lost in the woods towards the end. but aside from this didnt really have much hardship.
wasnt really ever chased so hard. i feel i was just about 5 minutes away from the pursuers at all times. i'm guessing this, as edward, who finished second, said hed been chased like 5 times, and he finished only 5 minutes after me, and he'd pretty much been 5 mins behind the whole time, we exchanged solemn exhausted nods a couple of times as i'd leave a check point and he'd be arriving.
i still had hella fun though.
just cant really walk right now.

well-deserved after your near-win last year!

damn i look like i still got a little pep in that pic.
i used the old 13 year old runaway technique of turning my shirt inside out, removing my hat every time a chaser saw me.
i wonder if it helped

You ran/jogged the whole route? If you did it in a straight path that's about 8.08 miles, or a mile every 17 minutes.
We took six buses, and you still beat us by 43 minutes. I guess waiting for the bus is what slowed us down.
I think the chasers gave up on you because you were so freaking far ahead.
