1. luke (nyc)

4. colin (new haven)
5. jesse (storrs)
6. eric (new haven)
7. aaron (who didn't do the checkpoints in order, due to getting lost, flatting, while managing to work one of his cranks loose...)
8. brian (bridgeport, dead ****in' last, except for...)
9. drew (who didn't really finish cause he flatted after the first checkpoint, and proceeded to the finish line via bus, bike, and walking, but was a super trooper cause it was his first alleycat)
the rain only discouraged the weak. bridgeport welcomes the strong. and i, for one, was really ****in' glad to have a crew of people to ride across town with, even though i had to drop them off at the train station.

(it was a mother****er, particularly the 4 miles uphill to the first checkpoint...)

Just some staging and finish photos. I was too busy trying to keep my manifest from disintegrating in the wet.

Jesse is not from New Haven, he is from Storrs. FYI. It is funny that he was racing with some people I used to ride with in New Haven, and I will be racing this tusday with people he used to ride with in Salt Lake City. Oh the irony is killing me.
