We are in Athens, OH awaiting the arrival of the B team at TS 44. We will be off a little after 9pm on this Thursday night with less than 500 to go and hopefully 24 hours or so of more cycling. To say that we are tired and wanting to stop does not do it justice. We are frayed both mentally and physically and getting a little testy. We hug and make up and all of us are trying to be on our best behaviour despite our deep mental and physical fatigue.
The B team and the kiddie were even for the first two stages this afternoon but the Killer Bs sucked it up and put 15 minutes on them and the last stage and we now have a 54 minute lead. We are heading into some serious climbing, which will work to the kids advantage. Because they are chasing us and we a re male and have egos we have no choice to push ourselves to the limit tonight. We'll probably do one 8-9 hour shift tonight and another 4ish shift tomorow and one way or the other we'll be done.
Here we go!
