Taking a short break in Effingham to change some clothing and eat something other than on-bike food. It was warm and muggy today, but the winds were light and thankfully the rollers of Missouri are behind us.
Had a really tough night last night which culminated with yet another hotel run and an unbelievably long sleep break. Hopefully tonight I can push through to the next time station were we already have a hotel waiting, rather than have an emergency search and sleep party again.
Overall I think the sleep timing issues are the biggest problem we have been facing. We are running close to the wire, but hopefully we can build up a few hour buffer every day to the finish.

It is good to hear you are feeling better. Did my heart good to hear from you this morning. Also glad you are across the Big Muddy. That’s a big marker and one I know that had you concerned because it IS such a marker for this race.
Go Honey and keep those lil’ ol’ wheels a turnin’!

I had no doubts you would make the BIG time-station, but it is still something to celebrate!
Dad’s so proud of you, as am I. Thanks again for letting us be a part of this intense journey you are undertaking!
