    Clever. Check your cluing for 29D. I think you mean to reference 28D. Also check the tense of 27D.

      Yikes sorry for those errors, just fixed them!

      Almost got natick-ed on MEDIC/the 2nd portion of the long word, but was able to suss it based on the absurd amount of prefixes. However, you might want to check the clue for OGRE, as it implies a plural. Fun puzzle overall!

        OGRE clue fixed, thanks

        The theme was quite a feat, but honestly did not make for your most enjoyable puzzle in my opinion. Still fun though!
        I did not know that one could do a 51D for one's hamstrings too!
        One note: in 43A, I read the clue as plural, while the entry is singular.

          One time I had an entire (mini) crossword as a Caesar cipher—sometimes I want to focus on doing something groundbreaking rather than providing the best experience ;). In any case, thanks for alerting me to the OGRE clue, which I fixed!
