5:00

So at 5 pm, sundown, I was no longer allowed to go back into the "pit" to help out the team. The rules say that i can return to the pit at noon tomorrow. They r all set up- tents are cozy, food is accessible, headlights r powered up. Right now they are in about 724th place and have logged 18 miles. It will be interesting to see how many of the contenders make it through the night. Here's hoping for a night free from hypothermia...
