I remember that monsoon ;-). Made Seattle look like the desert ;-).
The stream of water running down the pavement was bad enought, but to
have the main gutter fill to the level of a small river in the middle of
the course was, well... unparalleled. Just goes to show what we will
race in ;-). I remember running the course, and when you hit the river,
you had about a second or more of complete loss of visablity, even with
the wippers on full. I had memorixed the turn right after it, and as
soon as I hit the water, I waited a tad and then just turned in without
being able to see, just knowing what was next. Mckamey Phase II all the
way ;-).
