    Sarah here. I am done w/the double. I saw Veronica and Thom last night and again at the start this a.m. I don't yet know how they did, but when I hear I will shoot out a quick update.

    here' my brief description:

    12:20 total time, 11:25 ride time. 4:30 rain time (est). I rode w/my friend Larry who gets the good sport of year award. I felt crappy. stung by bee. too early for a double! and my friend stacy so lied - davis is way easier! 8 advil, 3 gel flasks, 10 lbs. road grit. must find food.

    Thumbs up Great Job!!!!

    Great Job Sarah!

    What a fabulous and huge accomplishment! I hope you found the most decadent dinner you've ever had and enjoy... you deserve it!

    I, for one, would love to hear more details when you're rested up!

    Sarah, you are so _fast_!!! Loved your ride report. Sounds like not the funnest ride in the world. I can't imagine the 4.5 hours of rain were pleasant- hopefully you didn't freeze. And stung by a bee!! That just sucks! (That hasn't happened to me for years, but when it did, first I got stung by a wasp while painting, then later kicked a bee with bare feet, by accident! Ow!)

    Veronica, yeah, I _bet_ she finished strong! She certainly put in the most dedicated training ever!

    Congratulations, you guys!
