The Skinny:
The coldest, wettest, most miserable race we have ever had. At race start (1am), the freezing rain was coming in horizontally at 15 mph winds ... YEAH! ... and it didn't stop for the next 18 hours ... there was a solid 2 inches of snow and ice on our cars when we finally got ready to drive home

Who Raced:
Damon Farrar, Chip Lynch and Richard Jensrud

Favorite Part:
Damon had recently acquired a pop-up trailer, which we all piled into at each transition to thaw our bodies back to something closer to normal ... without it our motivation to keep racing would've run out long before it did

Least Favorite Part:
The weather ... the weather ... the weather ... the weather ... the freaking weather

Funniest Moment:
As we were coming off one hill side of the valley, Damon tried to play a little joke on Chip, by telling him that we were climbing up the hill on the other side of the valley ... which was miles and miles of steep climbing, thinking that he was going to get a reaction out of Chip ... the joke was on Damon since we indeed was climbing up that exact hill ... talk about deflating the balloon
