FROM THE EDITOR: Free Ticket for Urban Challenge

Barring any Reagan-related funeral logistical issues, the D.C. Urban Challenge is set for this Saturday morning.

What is the Urban Challenge you ask? ... It's part road race, part knowledge test, part urban orienteering exercise. I placed 13th last year and hope to compete again this year.

I have access to a free ticket, but need someone to race with. And I play to win. You don't have to be in prime physical shape, as last year, I beat a couple of professional runners. Cleverness and know-how get you the medals, not necessarily the fastest feet.

If you're interested and up for the challenge, e-mail me at: oculus [at] fastmal.fm
