kjhsscioly has checked into the first pit stop in ninth place, meaning that EpicFailOlympian has been eliminated.

Here's the second roadblock of leg one, and the pit stop clue, for those following along:
Roadblock: When you think about it, the next location is represented nicely by 9069. A true geek should get it rather quickly.

Pit Stop: Head to the highest mountain in Japan, the pit stop for this leg of the race.

And here's the opening clue for the second leg:

Maybe. I'd like to have some of the teams farther behind catch up. I've talked to robodude, and it definitely won't start until I get back from band camp. Right, robodude?

*nods head in agreement*
Yeah, there is no way that its going to start tomorrow. Its going to start Saturday morning. What with zyzzyva98's band camp, and I'll be gone tomorrow morning, so it'll be best if we start on Saturday.
But you will want to prepare yourselves- leg 3 is very hard, and it gets harder...

We're the moderators of the game. We're invincible. I'm sorry you just killed yourself. But back to the topic at hand.
