Spoiler alert--
Kloden abandoned. Poor Radio Shack. God bless him for making it that far with a back injury! I vow to use less excuses for skipping rides!

Thanks for not fully spoiling so far. I didn't watch this morning (going to watch prime time), so I guess I'll just have to avoid this thread for the rest of the day

DH got the full access package on his phone and woke me up to watch the last couple of miles live. Wow, oh wow, oh wow! How did he DO that!?

I stayed in a hotel last night in Cherry Hill, NJ after going to the U2 concert in Philadelphia. Happily, they had Versus on the TV. So I was able to watch the stage this morning while I was getting dressed. My sister was trying to rush me out the door, but I kept saying "I have to watch this!!! Thor is going to win in the mountains!!!!"
She did not understand. Also she said Phil and Paul sounded like Monty Python.

That was thrilling! Although Roy's gesture crossing the line really got me--if only two people could have won today.
