I really wish I would have recorded how many miles I actually drove. All I know is I drove AT LEAST 1500 hours in the entire race.
Surviving on granola bars, minimal water, and peaches the entire trip, I finally grabbed McDonald's. I was terribly disappointed when I took a bite because my snack wrap and cheeseburger and fries SUCKED.
Anyways, once we got back on the road this shift, it went smoothly! It was a straight road with direct follow at night.
Direct follow meant that we were not allowed to fall more than 50 feet behind the cyclist, which is way closer than you think! I felt like I was right on his little ass!
Not only did I admire Joel for his steadfastness and polite mannerisms, but this 50+ year old man who was so proper, had Lady GaGa as his music of choice for traversing the United States. Turn up.
The first injury we had to deal with besides tightness in his quadriceps, was fatigue and aches in his left trapezius and triceps. Klint took the initiative to give him some Aleve and start E-Stim on him. This seemed to work rather effectively.
