Congratulations! I wish I could have been there. That's really good time for rainy conditions. Did you use softer wheels for that?

=================================

Thanks!
I had planned to use softer wheels (75A) if I thought it would be wet the whole way. We were all watching the weather channel that morning and they predicted that rain would hit Atlanta at sun-up, giving us a few hours of dry skating. Unfortunately, once I got to the line it started raining. I used 78A 80mm Hyper Shocks, and after about 20 minutes or so, there was no problem with slipping. Rusted-out bearings are another story...
