More Finishers

March 28th, 2008 Posted in Breaking News

So you think you’re tough do ya?  Well let me tell you about Tania and maybe redefine your definition of tough.  Tania of Team SuburbanRush.com has been racing for the last day and 1/2 with a broken nose.  She crashed on her bike and suffered some pretty good scrapes on her nose and what she and the rest of the team think is a break.  Her crew told us she was pretty out of it on the last transition, they helped her to eat and drink and change her shirt.  But there was no quitting to be had or even to be talked about.  She was pushing on and her boys with with her every step and pedal and paddle of the way.

In the final canyon leg, Team SuburbanRush.com joined up with Team Dirty Avocados Too, they hike together and like Indy Racing teams they came to the transition from run to bike and exited at the same time.  So the six decided they should hang together and enjoy the rest of the race together.

The beach run was a real treat (except for the blisters on my feet that made every step hurt and it was all I could do to avoid screaming in pain) oh and the final paddle, oh yes the salt in the wounds was a nice touch, said SuburbanRush.com.

Sounds crazy and painful and not in the slightest bit fun…but these guys and girls loved every minute of it.  We especially picked up the pace when we were told that the awards and party were moved up to tonight to accommodate so many teams having finished the course.  We jogged a lot today, we really wanted to make sure we were there for the party.
