3pm has come and we are underway. Callistoga and the competition is hot as ever. The first few legs are about planning your run and running your plan; and we are executing on plan.... Staying on pace and not getting overly excited.

This is what we do
Run 200 miles. And refuel. Deschutes had a pretty good night and we would like to endorse (completely unofficial) the Black Butte XXVII imperial Porter. Nothing eases the lactic acid in the legs like 11% abv.
Made it to the Coast! Probably finished fifth overall
It was fun to go back and forth with a couple teams around our speed: initially GE (3rd) and then Bullseye running club from Maryland (4th).
Made it!
Unofficially fifth. This weather has been nuts. The wind is blowing consistently at 20 mph, gusting up to 30. They actually *closed* the beach due to "flying debris". And the rain has ranged from light sprig showers to cloudburst in minutes. Even with all that, the anchors for van 2 wound up running strong closing legs.
Van 1 is done! Van 2 bringing it home
Having some local beers. We dropped to fifth place by a few minutes in spite of beating our projections. Stiff competition!
Go van 2!
