A busy day was upon us. All types of teams and more solo's came through. And then there was the glass recycling troop that camped out for 8 hours in front of our view of the oncoming racers.
It was good that I went home to get about 3 hours of sleep and shower. Well, in RAAM terms it was great that I got 2 REM cycles of sleep. I got back to the TS at 3pm and our view was much better as the recyclers left for Oxford,OH. Sandy Earl stopped by for quite a long time. She was definitely the bad luck girl of RAAM, as she encountered every type of bad weather one could imagine. She finally DNF'd in Kansas, but she's enjoying her stay here in Indiana as they are camping tonight at Brown County State Park. They are still going to Annapolis and cheer on all the RAAM participants.
Solo's have started to drop out. We started out with 30 solo's, and now have 17 still pedaling. Three of the five women are still alive. Michelle Santilhano just came through looking quite good. Talk about a vast improvement from her DNF in 2009.
I'm waiting for the Italian belladonna Sabrina Bianchi to come through in the wee hours of Friday, June 18.
