I do like Geoff's idea of the average, working off percentages. I'll look into that. Good luck in the HR lottery! I'll be pulling for you. I can only imagine how many folks will apply for HR!

A panel and an online vote. It'll be interesting. Too bad you're bailing on the Big Dance. The Old Guys' Race won't be the same without you. Of course, the young guys race will be as good as ever but they may just beat themselves up and save the sloppy seconds for us. And, as a caution, I am throwing in to Hardrock knowing that it takes 3-4 years on the waiting list to get in, whoever you are! Now that I'm living at altitude (sort of) it may be time...

It would be great to see Anne and Susannah go at it on that course.

Did she run Ultracentric? No Anne Lundblad? What would be cool, is seeing Susannah Beck here, she would thrive on this course. We'll see what happens. I would give Connie the nod for sure.

She is not on the entry list, but she will be there from what I understand. I think Connie Gardner will go for top spot for the ladies.
