well...

[John Teeter <albertteeter@yahoo.com>]

So the horses left early this morning. Tom, Karen, and
Steph are flying with them (to NY and LA respectively)
and we'll see what happens....Cristy and Sandra went
with them to the barn this morning (at 1:00am) to do
all the final preparations.

I've got a bunch of photos from the race day but it
seems that www.endurance.net is down untill someone
can go hit the power switch in Moscow, I'll keep you
posted on that (with a notice when it comes back) its
kinda late there now (9:36pm) so we'll see what
happens with getting back running tonight.  

but, I did locate the final finish information and
will type in a summary of it here.  There might be a
few spelling errors.....

There were 88 starters, 37 finishers (42% completion
rate) - a few controversies - lots of stuck chase
vehicles - and some pretty good rides!!!

(p.s. it seems that Stephs ride shirt has grown feet
and vanished. although they don't give tee shirts as
awards, the do make polo shirts with the riders name
on it.  Steph's was last seen wearing a person
somewhere in the vacinity of the endurance village. 
now there were 37 countries represented at the ride.
the shirt could surface anywhere in the world.  I'm
thinking of doing a "where's steph's shirt" contest
given the notariety which accompanied her exchange of
shirts back in the post-ride celibrations in
Compienge. 

I'll put up a photo of the missing shirt as soon as I
can and announce the prizes etc. But if you see
steph's shirt wearing a person anywhere in the world,
please let ride camp know and we'll try to track it
down.....(p.s. to the person to which steph's shirt
has bonded - don't be afraid - its totally benign (i
think) wear it with pride and pass it along if it
becomes too much of a bother to you:)

till later,

johnt
