It was fun. I met people from all over west. I met more Denverities than New Mexicans. Nearly everybody was an engineer or something in Medicine (MD, RN, or paramedic). I did most of the run up with an infectious disease doc from Denver. He asked, "you are a resident, how did you find time to train?" There was a couple that flew out from California. An anesthesiologist that placed 7th flew back from Massachusetts. He used to race when he lived here, and did not want to miss it.
