Travis, Aubrey and I drove up to Madison to meet him as he arrived at the finish line for the first half. Finally at 1:55 pm we saw him round the corner! He was tired and hot and said the last stretch was hard but he made it!! Volunteers handed him a cold wet towel right away!
Then the riders were treated with more food, massages (if they wish), a hot tub, and lots of cheering and encouragement. This evening there was a banquet and then hopefully they will have a good night's rest and start out tomorrow morning at 7:00 am for the return trip!
