Today was an even longer day. Still exhausted from yesterday’s century, my group (Bilqis, Allison, and Chey), struggled to take on another century. This was even tougher. We had stronger than 15 mph head winds the entire day, plus two mountains.

Needless to say, the day went on forever, with us finally getting into Wisdom 11 hours later at 6 pm…

Huge loving thanks to Valerie! I was so frustrated, tired, angry and upset, but every time I saw her that day she would cheer me up. She brought me a handful of grapes before they all ran out, filled my water and cheered when she passed us in the van. Her and Nate did a wonderful job in the water van that day and did not get to sleep until 1:30 am. They picked up Brian and Chris Young from the hospital in Idaho, making it the longest and worst day for the water van ever.
