Congratulations to everyone who finished. I got deep into reading up on this race a couple years ago. I think about it when I'm doing my little hikes. I can't imagine. But I'm mostly fascinated by the character of Lazarus Lake, his avuncular sadism, and the rituals and ceremonies surrounding the whole race.

Not sure how clandestine is being used here. Incorrectly I guess. I miss copy editors.
