10am and its cold and windy

It may be a little on the chilly side but we're okay with that because our Green Machine is flying. Jeroen has just gotten out of the car and Richard has gotten in, and we have made our way up to eighth place - which we are unbelievably thrilled about after all of the rotten luck that we have had to this point. We have a realistic shot at getting one, or even two, more positions before this thing is over in five and a half hours.
