24 HOA in Review
Our camera man Bob was busy during 24 HOA gathering goodies to allow for warm reflection of the event. The MORCA team did very well, managing to complete 24 laps. Here's a sneak peak at some of Bob's handiwork. A complete listing of his videos is available here.
Here are the troops resting up for their respective next turns on Sunday morning.
Jason and Bob's summary of this video: One woman took a right instead of a left at the checkpoint after grabbing some Gu. I figured she was looking to relieve herself but then realized she was headed the wrong way altogether. Jason answered the call and ran a 100 yards yelling at her. She did finally hear and turn around so we did our duty that night. Poor thing, she kept apologizing all the way until she was out of sight up the grind. 2 min later another guy did the same thing but we got him turned around quickly. MORCA cares!
