We enjoyed following Matt's miles; more than 100 - amazing.
We hope your toenails stay on this time and that it was a worthwhile adventure.

I don't mean to sound like a codger, but amazing in a less impressive way: "servers down" for email messages after just the first few hours of the race, again this year.

Really? Wasn't ARPANET designed so we could tend to avoid such events?

Does anyone know how to tell when a server has enough capacity?
For example, last year during residency match, the NRMP/ERAS servers similarly crashed - reducing med school grads' job searches to 1970s pork belly trading pit technology.
