Hi RAAM Fans ...

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.  It is in the most trying
times that our character is shaped and revealed."
               Helen Keller

"Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really
knew.  They're what make the instrument stretch -- what make you go beyond 
the norm."
               Cicely Tyson


Here's the latest from the Web Site ... analysis to follow with "Hot Items",

These results may not line up on your CRT because of the Proportional Font
being used -- Copy them from here and Paste them into your Word Processor 
with a Courier font and they will appear in columns.  

Technical Note -- As you may have found, this report is difficult to print
well. In the prior few E-Mails, there are instructions on how to print it 
with nice columns.  Let me know if you need these instructions again.

All credit for this work should go to RAAM Headquarters manned by the SCOR
Club and headed by Larry Mahrenholtz.  The Web Site is totally awesome and 
if you don't have Internet Access, you need to get it in order to really see 
what each rider is doing through each time station, etc.  Check out:
