well, this was a good read, but it lacked the usual large amount of wordplay and metas that you usually have.

the nicest part of this was it's storytelling.

The use of the pledge as the introduction was effective and would make a good voiceover for an audio.

The race was described pretty well, but what I couldn't figure out was "awarded to the german in second" wasn't the swede in second? its madness!

I liked the soft clouds of Greece.
the sound of it makes me sleepy. LoL
not bad my man.
