Ahhh, it's Friday night on a hot summer night in Bloomington, Indiana. We've accomplished a lot in the past 3 days and nights. Fifty riders have come through this time station 39 as evidenced by our world famous leader board. We added color coding for each day of arrival here at time station 39. The Old Aussie crew asked us, "Where are we?" I told them, "Your team hasn't come through yet!". I put them on the board to quiet them down!
The highlight of Friday was in the wee hours of the morning. Team Kalyra came through around 4am. I might have been seeing double, but it sure looked like they had 4 RV's and 4 vans for this 4 gal team. I made a comment about the huge contingent, and a crew member or rider retorted with sarcasm, "Yeah, our horse and pony show!" Good thing they arrived at night. There was plenty of parking at 4am.
About an hour later my Italian belladonna, Sabrina Bianchi, came through and stopped for a bit at our time station. I was honored. She looked to be in good spirits and was riding well. Later in the race she passed Michelle Santilhano to take 2nd place solo women at the end. The girls did well in 2010.
