we're on our way home from tevis. All 5 Idaho riders finished again... 6 if you count The Raven, who rode with Nick Warhol and don. Our horses were amazing - they must be to finish this ride. Our crewing left a little to be desired at the first vet check but it was good by the second one. Nance and steph finished with 17 minutes to spare - it was slightly nerve wracking as we waited at the finish line at 4:45am with the clock ticking down to 5:15 cutoff time!
Many times during the day I wish I had ridden; many times I was glad I didn't!
Photos and stories to come
I've been following along and it all seems so exciting. Glad everyone finished and did well.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I got to meet you! Glad all the ID riders finished.
ReplyDeleteBet you'll be glad to get home where things are a little less nerve wracking. Good for the Idaho horses and riders!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations everyone. I too was following on the Tevis site. Hope the Raven enjoyed the tour, I see he finished in the middle.
ReplyDeleteTo have all your riders finish is a tribute to you all--crews and competitors. It was an amazing feat.
