2:11. Would have been faster, but I took a couple of turns hella conservative. FWIW, winning pro time was 2:06ish. Here's the course: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...7a33&z=17&om=1

LOL. What was the photographer thinking? "Hey, this guy looks like he's sh*ting his balls out of his mouth... I'll post THIS one on the web!"
I mean come on.

for the pinning, should I do 8 pins and do one on each side as well as the corners?

Oddly enough, there's been two* "pinning" suggestions in this thread (which I've just wolfed down in one go).
1. pins on all corners, one at the forward edge of the number and one in the middle.
2. run the safety pins through like a straight pin - through the number, across and into the fabric, across and out of the fabric, across and out of the number.
* ... someone said crumple the number up first but I don't get that ... maybe it won't flap as much if it has creases all over.
That was a really good thread - hope it keeps going.
