They just posted the first of the results for the race and it can now be said we officially finished in 30:40:11. Not only that, we ran a great strategic race, saving ourselves for the second half of the race, in other words a negative split! Our pace at exchange 6 was 9:45.3 (139th place). At exchange 23 we were at a 9:15.9 pace (106th place) and at exchange 38 the pace was 9:06.7 (89th place). Over the final 2 legs we continued to gain in pace and place thanks in large part to Jonathon's anchor leg. Our final place was 85th. You all make me proud to have been amongst you in this truly team accomplishment.

Thanks again, James, for making it all happen--even with "the crud"
