1979 KELROF
This is the unofficial score sheet for the "Ten Moles" team that
ran in Caltech's famous KELROF 24-hour relay on May 19-20, 1979.
We ran 211 miles, 340 yards. We were one of seven teams that
ran that year, racking up a combined total of 1496 miles, 1137 yards,
a KELROF record that (to my knowledge) stands to this day.

I (Larry Doolittle) typed this in 1979 on my SCM portable typewriter.
I thank Derek Davis, who found his copy many years later and sent me
this scan.

- Nice essay from
Mark Eichenlaub about his 2008 participation with a record-breaking team. Too bad the cert for ideotrope.org has expired.
