The Skinny:
At the time, probably one of the most challenging 24 hour anyone of us had ever done (and for a couple ... the first 24 hour)

Who Raced:
Nicol Rodgers, Sarah Brown, Paul Thibodeaux and Richard Jensrud

Favorite Part:
The rappel off of "Baldy Point" was awesome ... especially since Texas and Oklahoma doesn't exactly have an overabundance of tall slick rock surfaces to jump off of

Least Favorite Part:
I don't think anyone of us will jump at the chance to do the beach bike ride again ... I'm thinking it was a 9 mile ride in the wonderfully soft sand that would at least have been soft to land in every time we fell off our bikes ... except those freaking cockaburrs

Funniest Moment:
Probably the conversation at 3am in the middle of a 6 hour hike through the Quartz Mountain boulders ... nobody on the team will be quite the same after an intimate introduction to Richard's grooming habits
