| 870 points at the Wallingford Street Scramble. I kinda messed up with using my GPS, so I don't have a total distance (maybe 16 miles?). Our goal was 910, as the course was set for a ton of points. Had to skip two 10-pointers and a 20-pointer later in the day, and we finished exactly on the bell.
Since Nikolay ran in the 90-minute version, I am pretty sure we beat all teams, either on foot or bike, except for Teriyaki Donut on bike. We beat the Whidbey Island Nerds by 100 points, too. I am tired. | ||

| I decided to go running in downtown Charleston with a basic street map. I started running at 9pm, and I ended up going for 90 minutes, and covering 8 miles. I ran at faster than Street Scramble pace for the first 50 minutes, but that included some stops to figure out exactly where I was. I did a lot of "choose your own adventure" running, where I would get to an intersection, and run down the most interesting-looking route. I ran down "zig zag alley" which wasn't on the map and dead-ended. I ran over cobblestone streets (great ankle exercises), through the market buildings, to the ends of a T shaped dock, around fountains and landmarks, around churches, etc.
This was easily the most fun 8-mile run, I've ever done, and I highly suggest to anyone visiting Charleston to head downtown and go exploring at night. I loved the old, old colonial mansions with let gaslamps and all of the churches and graveyards. Very cool. I had several streets all to myself. (I've decided that downtown Charleston would be a super cool Street Scramble, or maybe a sprint-scramble or something, since it doesn't cover a super huge area. There are tons of churches, memorials, fountains, etc, that made everything extremely interesting. I suppose a Street Scramble in the historic neighborhoods of Boston or something would be cool, too. Though, one thing about Charleston... they didn't have any money after the Civil War, so they couldn't tear down older homes and build new ones. They had to keep the older ones. By the time they had money again, people were pushing for keeping the historic feel alive. Therefore, everything in that area is historic.) After 50 minutes, I had to walk a bit, and the remaining 40 minutes were a mix of cool-down walking and jogging. It was humid, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I brought my GPS, but I don't have my wireless USB stick with me here, so I don't have an exact route. | ||
