I almost can’t describe the starting chute. We army crawled under the DJ booth and climbed (or were boosted over…ahem) an 8 foot wall and dropped down the other side into the starting chute. The music was blasting. We were absolutely pumped. It was pure adrenalin at this point for all of us. I wish I could convey what it felt like. It was like skydiving and the best roller coaster you’ve ever ridden and your first date and first kist and best night in college all rolled into one. Crazy good. After a moment to recognize our soldiers and the Wounded Warrior project we took the pledge and crammed in like cattle waiting on go.

Pure energy right here.
