Mid-Race Crisis Barrz

The only way to survive 26 hours of MC200:

2 cups peanut butter (chunky is best)
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white corn syrup or honey
8 cups grape nuts, oatmeal, ground nuts, etc.
1 cup craisins, raisins, currants, etc.

Heat peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup in microwave until very warm (about 6 minutes total)
Stir thoroughly and add fruit and ground nuts about halfway
Stir in cereal and mix thoroughly
Spread on pan that has been lined with foil sprayed with cooking oil so that they don't stick
Cool, cut and pwr up

Oh, Thayer!

Thanks to everyone who didn't drink their share of gatorade, Thayer got to have a little fun :).

Welcome to Chicago!

WE DID IT!

Texting Violations and Rain Delays

After no sleep, 6.5 miles of gut-wrenching side aches and a gimping knee, the rain delay saved me. Dave was able to skip his 8.4 mile run and jump to the next transition. Thayer saved the day and took my last leg.

Thayer's Pit Stop

We drove past a lake and decided to jump in. And in Thayer's case, use the restroom.

Handoff 8 to 9
