note on GPS failure's, some (mine included) were 100% operator induced so do not really count from a 'unit reliability' point of view

This is Jamil's brother Nick. I dropped Jamil off at the Parker Canyon Lake trailhead and he started out on foot at 9 AM sharp (picture attached).
I got a call from him at 11. He has some sharp pain in the joint of his big toe that started immediately when he left, and has been getting slowly worse. He said he had the same pain for the last 25 miles of the Umstead 100 mile run two weeks ago, but hadn't felt it since. He's going to go on to Patagonia and see how it progresses through the day, but is uncertain at this point if he will continue if it gets worse.
I'll update if I hear anything else from him.

Hey Nick, thanks for the pic, hope Jamil's toe holds out. Jamil looks to be travelling really light - do you know what kit he has with him? As the winner of last years 'carrying the most gear for the AZT300/750' award, I'm interested in seeing how you would push the boat on foot being unable to just strap more and more to the bike!
Ian
ps - all these start pics are so funny, I only got to see the border and Parker Canyon Lake covered in snow! I was amused at Matt Fusco heading to the 750 start even though he was just doing the 300, purely to see what the border normally is like!

Yep we thought they were in for the whole thing when we saw them Brad Kee as well as Matt rolling down the road towards us. I hadn't been to the Border since 06 it is a pretty cool spot and it only took us 2.5 hours to get there from my place. Hint hint. |

SPOT point is in, we have a winner!
Lynda Wallenfels is first to the finish of the AZT 300, in an unofficial time of 3:04:38. (~1:38pm finish). Phenomenal! First woman to ever finish the route and 2011 winner with a smoking fast time. Awesome!

Congrats Lynda! Inspiring effort out there. You made it to the finish just a few minutes before Caroline and I rolled back into Boulder :-p

His pack is the Terra Nova Laser. He doesn't have a shelter or sleeping bag, just a thermo-lite bivy sack and an extra layer of clothes. His plan is largely to travel at night while it's cooler and only take short naps. Much of his pack is his food, he didn't make any drops although he plans to buy more food at shops along the way. I don't know much beyond that, he'll have to give you a full run down when he's done. |

Works fine for me in both IE9 and Firefox 4.
Thanks Toby, it was getting blocked by the tracking protection. Congratulations Lynda! |
