No podcast last night, so there are two calls on the one dated 26 June. Firstly an update from Tuesday evening and Jenn's call from Lima. This is at 11 minutes in, and despite the official blog reporting that she found it tough going on a singlespeed Jenn sounded pretty sparky. She said she'd 'had a good feed, which was lovely' and managed to stretch her sore legs. Oh yes, and that her 'arse had taken a bit of battering'. Somehow that hasn't been transcribed elsewhere.....By Wednesday mid afternoon Jenn had made storming time to reach the the next call in at Island Park. You can find the call at 19.40 minutes/seconds on the broadcast. She sounds in amazing spirits (and is it just my calculations or is she catching some of the TD riders now?) and after riding by Red Rock Lake was wondering why she's leaving such lovely places (but clearly planning to come back already). She was going to press on to the border and signed of with 'more pedaling'. Blimey, it's just like hearing her voice from over your shoulder when you're out riding with her.
Everyone else is reporting difficult conditions to Flagg Ranch so I'm expecting to hear Jenn tonight commenting on the odd puddle and mucky patch. They're promising to try to broadcast again at lunchtime EST so I should be able to pick that up at tea time here, so hopefully we'll get another post today.
Oh yes- and by my sums, at this point Jenn is on schedule for the women's record.

Yes, the fast riders in the GDR are catching up the tail enders of the TD.
Looks like the leaders have already past Stephen Gleasner and Mary Collier's next after all her well documented leg and shock issues. After that its a fair way to Felix Wong
Shame Jenn doesn't have a SPOT tracker.
Mary's 'sock in a shock' repair was inspired...
we're watching this quite keenly from s.f. :o) GO JEN! evilg & niceb
