If my math is correct, his finish is less than 6 hours behind Mike's record! Unbelievable!

There's a great chance that Justinas finishes in 14 days as well. Joe Nation (currently 200 miles out) probably won't make 14, but 15 days is still super awesome. These lead riders are powerhouses, that's for sure. Of course, everyone that even gets to the starting gun is a pretty special rider.

Alexandra is continuing to add to the lead on her record. Fingers crossed that everything keeps going well and she blows it out!

Bonnie- I'm amazed at what these athletes have accomplished. I'm a bit perplexed as to the first 5 finishers are not American. I don't really care that they raced so well, just curious if you think its a bit odd as well. There were a handful of American professional gravel racers in the field. I guess they just had bad luck? AK got sick, twice, Ted King got sick, Alex Howes broke a wheel. Its just the nature of the divide??? |

That's one of the beautiful things about the Divide, as well as any other trail or even any bicycle - it doesn't care who you are, where you're from, or anything else. It just says 'Here I am.' The next decision is ours.

One of the things that the top 2 had in common was the willingness to go so long without sleep. Ulrich didn't sleep until the 4th night! I don't know how they could function like that.

Agree - JayP said something to the effect; "Once you stop for an extended time, it really catches up to you" So I guess, they just keep going? |

I've been away since Friday with no internet coverage and have missed several finishes. Getting caught back up for a bit here.
...and bon, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow with your procedure...may this be the last one!
All the best!
