They've now penalized Team 44 with 706 minutes?! Yesterday morning, it showed a 68 minute penalty. Will there be an explanation of time penalty/bonuses at some point? EC was the 17th team across the finish line in any case. Congrats. :) What is going on with the standings? They’ve now penalized Team 44 with 706 minutes?!

Finally crashed out again at about 4:10am, just a couple of minutes after you made it in. Cheered for you all the whole way. :) I thought you might have gotten in before team 8 at one point, but that was just the darn Spot tracker not getting updated. Either way, that was fun, way to go. Again next year? (Also, why the 72 minute time penalty?)

YOU DID IT!!! You all are an amanzing group of people - team and support team. I just finished reading the comments about the finished, and found myself crying!!! Eric, the girls and I have been watching every day, and in some ways feel like we were right there with you in spirit. Mark, I can't tell you how proud we are of you, and what an inspiration you are. I called dad first thing this morning and told him you finished - he was so happy that you made it through the whole course (in one piece!!!). I can't wait to talk to you to find out more details, but just wanted to write this one last note and let you know what an incredible little brother you are!!! Now, get some rest, eat and enjoy the kids. I know they are looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Julie CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU DID IT!!!
