The auction closed today... Corrine will be contacting all the winners and collecting payments. She will let us know what we've earned. Our hope is that it will pay for our team uniform tops (marsha will be filling us in)and maybe a few other things along the course. Mostly, we'd love to make a donation to Operation Kids in our team name.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Corrine for organizing this to benefit our team and for donating so many beautiful items. Also, to Marsha for donating some fantastic items. You Girls ROCK ON!!!

START TIME!!!

So our start time has been given... 12:30. If your reaction is "WHAT??? That's so late!!!!" Your not alone. I'm going to contact the Ragnar people and hopefully get us moved up, even just an hour, but for now....this is where we are at. At an avg. 9 min pace ( i think we may be a bit faster than that) we will be ending the race around 3:30pm on Sat.

Hey..on the bright side, we get to sleep in...don't know about you but that right there pretty much makes the whole trip perfect for me!

Keep on keepin on!!! YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!!
