Anyone share some updates?
I saw that Jonathan Cavner launched the first attack and is out off the front for - gasp- TEAM Rodeo Labs.

Really wish they had a tracker site up for the 200 mile like they have for the XL. It’s not the best, but its awesome for the XL to see it at such a high level view

Steve Marshall is a local amateur (Minnesotan) who’s pretty high in the placings.
Lots of mistakes
I was top 70 though 100miles
Wheels fell off like a train wreck.
Still under 14 hours though
I’ll update more tomorrow, not really able to eat right now due to the damage I did to myself

I succumbed to the heat and pulled the plug at 117. Could not eat or drink and was showing signs of heat exhaustion. I’m not get paid to do this so felt like better safe than sorry at 54 years old!

I’ll have what 58 year old Juergen Eckmann is having! 12 hours 09 minutes and 39th overall. Almost unbelievable.

Kudos to @ABG for making this thread so fun to follow and for the strong finish.

Yeah, it sounds like it was another death March, similar to 2019…and fighting a brutal headwind all the way for the second half.
Props to all those who toed the line…full credit to ABG and others who put themselves out there on this thread. Impressive efforts by all!!
Hoping for my shot at redemption next year!

Little Egypt is just brutal. That and the heat got me. Having done Little Egypt twice now, I wouldn’t be sorry if they went south in 2022!

Must mean you’re feeling better today 
. Look forward to following your build for next year 
doing that requires carrying roughly a $400 emergency GPS tracker/communicator.
