Just moments pass by as mike and I get the last bit of things packed in the trailer. From where we were staying many people were looking in amazement at the tiny specks moving on top of the mountain. So I thought I would share those with you as well, first from a normal view. Then a zoomed in view.
As time slips away, the people around are talking about some teams on their way down the mountain.. We check online and it does not look like anyone is close to. We head up to the Transition Area to get set up. Not more than 25 minutes go by and we hear, ” Here is team 36!! ”
Here’s Doug! Looking good, feeling good..
Charlie looking focused and determined…
Iona, just wanting some dry socks and some water..
Was Paul thinking -”Okay, so I’ve made it, where’s my money? Then how about a high five?? ”
They make it over to our area with a few things set out for them, not expecting them to be in that soon. Helped with what we could, such as fulling their water up and anything else. Before I knew it Charlie’s calling out, “15 minutes are up!! Lets gooO!”
In a blink of an eye there were wrappers, empty pop cans, and wet clothes were all that remained of their visit. That left Mike and myself looking at each other, in amazement of what just happened, yet looking forward to what will happen next!

They’re doing great. Checking up on the website and tracking them is turning into a bit of an addiction!!
Thanks for the update and pictures guys!

We agree with Sarah. Feel like we’ve reached the “extreme” couch addiction. Find ourselves eager to get home and check out their progress. Thanks for the updates Steve. Don’t know your level of contact with the team, or their ability to monitor any of the blog; but if it’s possible, wish them luck for us.
