I'd hardly count 6x5 a "higher brain function". =) I am going to do it again next year, if they have it. What's next? That's a good question - one I've been considering lately. I'll make that the topic of my next post. Funny. I’d hardly count 6×5 a “higher brain function”. =)

I DID get woozy somewhere in the upper 20s or lower 30s. I was trying to calculate 6x5 (fifth block of 6 flights) and couldn't do it. Seriously couldn't do simple arithmetic. Gave up after trying for two flights and just put one foot in front of the other. One of the other guys in my group did it in 7:41. Another in 8:14. The other three weren't really competing, but all finished the event and all came out in decent shape. [EDIT: I've updated this post w/ a picture of me approaching the top step. Not my most flattering picture, but gives you an idea how I was feeling. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I have a 'most flattering picture'.] I didn’t get dizzy from the left turns.
