Ragnar moves finish line south (was Ed the cause?!)

One of this year's race route adjustments is a big one - moving the finish from the Montrose beach spot used the past 9 years to a new place on the trail at Belmont Harbor.  Unlike past years when there was ample parking near the finish, we'll need to park north of the finish at the Waveland Park Tennis Courts and take a shuttle to the finish to celebrate the arrival of our hero.

Conspiracy theorists speculate it happened like this: teammate Ed, frustrated with the usual traffic jam at Montrose, greased some palms to get the finish extravaganza moved two miles south so he would have an easy stroll home.   Last year it would have been a 2.8 mile walk, this year just half a mile.
Map shows the Ed Effect - finish line moved south by 2 miles
