WE DID IT!!!!
Sarah, Mark and I took 4th place in the Sylamore Hardcore adventure race. 28 and a half hours after the start we walked across the finish line. We dropped the last 3 checkpoints to finish with in the 30 hour time limit but the race was hard enough that it was good enough for 4th place. I will be posting a full race report within a week on my site (I have to go out of town on business this week.)
I want to thank Sarah and Mark who were great. Sarah finished on bloody feet from blisters! She is one tough chick

. I was trying to talk her into quitting when Mark made us start walking and we picked up 4 more checkpoints. Great teamwork out there. I also want to thank my wife Lisa and Sarah's Husband Aaron. They were up and ready with hot food, fresh water, clean dry clothes and a gentle push at every transition area.
