Excitement was high this
morning. I showered at 5 and by the
time I walked out, my room mate and vehicle partner, Mike, was already out of
the room and getting ready.
By the time I finished
fueling the main vehicles, most of the rest of the crew was moving about. We ate breakfast and proceeded to the
vehicles for a final briefing.
All of the electronics were
reviewed one more time and we then went right into a review of the medical
supplies and how to keep Cassie healthy.
One more review of eating and drinking necessities and a talk about
checking the resultant output and we were ready to mount up!
The start area was buzzing
with excitement and we were fortunate to be paid a visit by one of Cassie's
nutrition experts who gave us some additional instructions.
The racers were introduced
and they were off!
We are currently sitting in
Christmas Circle in the middle of Borrego Springs, waiting for the arrival of
Cassie so that we can change crews.
We're hoping that she has
enough stuff to make it to Brawley before she needs to shut down.
I think she will.
Go, Cassie, Go
