Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

According to Jeff (and then later from Susan herself after she was done) there was some serious projectile vomiting going on at the wee hours of the morning. When she left the last control, they were not certain that she'd make it to the finish before the cut-off.
Of course, our little TE biking machine pulled it out and finished with some time to spare.
I'm so happy for both her and Chris. Way to go!!My new non-farm blog: Finding Freedom

Way to go Susan and others who finished. I hope she posts soon with all the details. What an experience of a lifetime.

Don't you think the first thing she would do after finishing 88 hours on the bike would be to post on TE??
