Update 1:07AM CDT: Team Strong Heart just passed through Mt. Airy, MD and time station #51. It looks like TSH will finish the 2009 RAAM right around 4AM CDT. 2967mi raced, 54mi to go!! Soon racers & crew can experience a real bed and a good nights (or day) sleep. These riders & crew have done it all on very little sleep, not more than 2 or 3 hours at a time for most. And that's for 6 plus days straight!

There are only three time stations left! TS#51 at Mt. Airy, MD, TS#52 at Odenton, MD, and TS#53 in Annapolis, MD. Current conditions in the area: 68F, scattered clouds, and calm.

CONGRATULATIONS TSH! What a great finish...so proud of each of you. You are all amazing!!! Woo hoo!!!!
Way to go team! You beat RAAM's predictions and only got stronger at the finish. I wish we could have been there in Hancock to see you go through, but were held up in Scranton, PA in construction.
Well Done Team!!! That was completely insane. I can't believe your average speed. You should all be so proud of yourselves and each other. You didn't just rise to the challenge, you cleared it by a royal mile. You've also just made a few lucky kids very happy at Camp Odayin. Wish I could be there to congratulate you all in person.
All the best,
Gordon
