The day before the competition, I explored vantage points for photography. Immediately in front of my perch and outside of the frame of the picture is the infamous obstacle 1. Course designer Phil Collard was concerned about rollovers and breakage on this obstacle, so he scheduled it last in the order. It proved to be as difficult as Phil anticipated, but the fact that it was last in the order meant that it would be shaded from direct sun light, and the photography would not be what it could have been had it been scheduled earlier in the day when the sun was overhead. All things considered, I don't think Phil made a bad call. Photo by Trudy Strawn.
