One More Plain Update

It’s looking like all three will finish!!   Another update from Leon.

– ok, jamie just finished … at ~10:42am this morning … for an approximate elapsed
  time of ~29:42 … if i have done my math right …
– jeff, larry, and mauricio have all passed through the chickamin tie check point …
  which is ~70+ miles into the race … don’t know the exact mile mark for that check point …
– elapsed times for them at that point are:
  jeff: 24:10
  larry: 24:12
  mauricio: 25:32
– chickamin tie is kind of the "point of no return" … if you make it through there, you should
  be able to finish … the next check point is alder creek (7.5m from the finish), and then
  deep creek on the return (1.5m from the finish) …
– search and rescue folks said it looked like the three were basically running together,
  helping each other, in order that they would all finish … this is definitely true for jeff and
  larry …  but mauricio would have been an hour back at chickamin … if the times on the
  spread sheet were correct …
– anyway … all three should be able to finish …
– weather is real nice here now … clear  blue sky, and temps going up … it was pretty
  cold last night … jamie said he was cold, even with all his stuff on …
– will try to get one more email off to you when they pass through alder creek
– right now it looks like they will have finishing times of anywhere from 34 hours … to …
  35+ hours …  but, they should be able to make it …
– tim stroh came in second … he was the guy that stayed with us in that big cabin here
  at thousand trails …
