Its 6 am in California, so 9 am back in the Land of the Sopranos – and Team Beat Cancer is in New Jersey!!!
Only 65 miles from the finish, its pretty much done except for the parade route and the party.
As mentioned on the Team Beat Cancer blog, Rick’s Achilles tendon is done, kaput, ’sleeping with the fishes’…however you want to put it.
I spoke with him yesterday after he came off the bike. Despite being fairly uncomfortable because of the pain, he was in good spirits and satisfied with the effort he and George have put in over the past 9 days.
I also spoke to Terry, Rick’s wife, who was traveling from San Diego to Atlantic City yesterday to be at the finish line when Rick and George get there later today. She sounded relieved that the finish is almost there for RAAM.
One thing not to forget is that this race would not be possible for Rick and George without the support of their loved ones and support crew. The effort and commitment required to help support an event like this is incredibly impressive!Best wishes and much thanks to all involved!
Finish line report coming up soon!
