Genesis Earthling: a Racer!

Due to our poor performance in the previous races, we were aloud to run the course only twice, while the others had to do three laps.  We would start a bit later, and hopefully everyone would finish at the same time.  Since we were setting off for passage just a few days after the race, we spent a few hours underwater scrubbing the bottom (before the race).  Thanks to this unanticipated advantage, we got second place!
