Discussion: Amazing!!

Sounds like quite the HTFU ride with a happy ending! I can't believe I would even complain about a muckfest where I was compared to the technical mess where you were. Well done on finishing your first CRANK!!

You have really hit your stride as a hard core adventure athlete. Really well done! Congrats. :)

Sounds like it was gut check time on Day 3. Way to deal with the sh!t and make it happen. Congratulations!

Congrats Hermes and I also recall drafting off of FB in a certain Logs, Rocks and Steel years ago only to leave him behind when it was my time to pull. I'm such a jerk and FB had to suffer the consequences of listening to Wilderness tease him about being chicked.

I would love to do this event one day. Congrats on pulling through.

Congrats! I drafted off of FB near the end of the trek in RockStar this year.

Wow. Hard core is right. Way to gut this one out!

I feel like it's time to hit the stride as a hard core wine-o!

Leanimal, it's an every other year type event so maybe next time! I'd be happier to suffer with company.

Good job Hermes!! Sounds like the going was really tough and you're a champ for pulling it off. You must have been wearing magical Aztec tights to give you extra strength or something.

Slice! Totally!

And guess what?! 3different girls in my class had the most amazing cheetah tights on today. This can only mean one thing...they're available at Target! Don't worry..I'm already on it.

Yessssss!!!!

Hermes was a total trooper. Tough conditions. I heard 40-50 people were pulled or dnf'd on day two. I was not in a happy place for much of this. :-).
Kept waiting for Hermes to blow by me!!

Wow! That sounds character-building all right. Well done. What a honeymoon.
