I was with family during the beginning of the week when the SEGs started showing up. I wasn't able to be on all the time so I slipped in the rankings to around 1120. I've been on constantly since Thursday to make top 1000 and it has been a brutal struggle. It seems like I am constantly around 300k-500k EP short of the goal. I am currently at 1040 and will probably need to start using items to catch up.

Healthy is not a word I would use to describe such a level of activity. I don't think I will do another Elite Guard event like this again.
