Ok now I get it... sort of

All I can say is WOW. After an inspiring speech like this there is little wonder why these three Bad News Mudders have been putting themselves to the test all year. For me, all I can say is that I am really glad it not raining because the rumor was that this course (and this pit crew) should stay relatively dry today. We'll see. Right now the guys are out running the first 5 mile lap. As I type this entry while sitting in the parking lot, I can hear the announcer congratulating the first few superhumans who are already finishing. Stay tuned.
