Halfway through the race! Here's my summary.
Leg 1: Too many tasks, uneven editing
Leg 2: Not bad, but I hate mid-leg HoOs.
Leg 3: Not bad.
Leg 4: Felt too short, but I liked the tasks.
Leg 5: The roadblock and the art tasks were the best I've seen in a long time. Absolutely hated the detour. Oh man no NEL?
Leg 6: Great locales, but what was with that mid-leg HoO? This leg was a really endurance, luck, and strength based one. Lots of stairs! And still no NEL? That kills the suspense for the next leg.
