The Kurtstanimal

Logan, UT
to
Jackson Hole, WY
206 miles
3 states
1 day

Kurt did the Lotoja bike race on Saturday. He was given 13 hours to do it. His goal was under 11 hours. He was tired from working like crazy (think 60-70 hour weeks for the 3 weeks up to the race). He was under trained because of his hectic work schedule. And he did it! He completed the race in 10 hours and 55 minutes. I am so unbelievably proud of him!!

Getting ready!!


The starting line

Feed zone in Afton--James and Camille drove along to cheer Kurt on. What great friends!

Support Crew in action!

He's in the back of this pack.

And this one too.
And then he finished! I went to take a picture of him making a face that expressed how he felt, and accidentally had it set on sports sequence still. So, I got a ton of pics of him doing this:





How's that for a taste.

So proud of you, babe!
Then we went to Jackson to eat at my family's favorite spot, the Merry Piglets.

Oh, and they're Married Piglets! Bahahaha!
We drove to my uncle Brad and aunt Michelle's house, went to bed, woke up and spent far too little time with the family, then packed up and headed home to Denver. Here was our last view of Idaho:
