So JT left telluride, 72.8miles, about 700 a little behind his i want to go to the brewery and have a beer after the race time. and here i sit at baked in telluride enjoying a chorizo burrito and coffee...it's a hard life crewing. he was still awake but barely. i think paul has his work cut out for him these last 30miles.

karl meltzer finished at 6:38 this morning. The first woman, Diana Finkel, is currently in third. and if you're wondering on the pbr race....scott jaime is winning. even after suffering or still suffering from a bad stomach. i don't know first hand b/c jt's too slow for me to be at the aid station when scott gets there. he could very well beat him by 12 hrs. that means i better drink the pbr in the cooler before jtgets in so he can't steal mine to give to him.

so i was going to do 1 beer for every ten miles jt runs. there are just 3 little words that prevented me from doing that thus far. MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY! (scariest paved highway in the world...i came close to hitting 6 deer, a moose, and 2 skunks last night) but i have 3 down and will resume my goal once i'm safely in silverton waiting for brownie to finish...which will be at approx 8 tonight.

Make sure you take advantage of him at these last few checkpoints when he's weak and vulnerable!
