Here are a few pictures I was able to take before I went to get the other bike..
Some of you are concerned with their mental state as well as their well being. For the most part, everyone was sleep deprived and edgy… That’s nothing a 2 hour nap couldn’t take care of! 
Tempers were mild, but there were a few flair ups along the way. Those were recognised by the other and were ignored as they knew it wasn’t a big deal. There were also a few times where a few things went ‘missing’. whether it was because they are normally forgetful or just having a brain fart from their great adventure, I can not say. :-p
Before they took off on this leg of the race, everyone seemed fairly up beat and motivated to keep going. We should be seeing the team shortly after their 14 mile ride (?) and help them get ready for the next part of the biking as well as their trek that is after the bike at the Unassisted Transition Area. that next trek will be around 30 hours by their rough estimates. So we shall see how this next trek will treat them!

Well…I think they all look great considering all they have done! Thanks so much for the update. It’s great to see them.

Everyone at K-Designers wants to know what the U means in the ranking column on the tracking web page. We saw the picture and will share them with everyone here. I agree with Sarah, that they look pretty good considering the challenges of the course. Tell them we said to hang in there and we are cheering them on!

We just got notified what the U stands for. Our prayers are with you (DJ) and Tecnu Extreme. We are still cheering for Techu Extreme to finish the course. Hold your heads up high. You deserve credit for doing something that very few people can do!

They are smiling! Why are they smiling?
Great to see–still envious.

Doug, Was gone all weekend and had no access to the site. I was thinking of you all the entire time and hoping to see you climb in the rankings. I’m so incredibly sorry to hear about having to drop; I know how much you wanted this. Say hi to the group for me. give Iona a hug and Charlie and Paul a slap on the rump. Proud of you guys
