This is really cool. I am pretty surprised at how spread out the leaders are. Konica Minolta is 32 miles off of the Rhumb Line, Wild Oats is right on it, and the others are pretty much spread out between them. I would have thought that with all of the "rock stars" and all of the equipment & data they have available they would be more closely bunched together. I know everyone's looking for an edge but I thought the data available to them would keep them closer together.
This would be awesome for the Tybee and many of the other distance races, such as the Macho Man, Round The Island, etc... I think more people would follow those races that can't make but maybe it would peak their interests to maybe make it next year.
