Just talked to Glenn at 12:45PM. Stef has had 4 flats. They think it's a problem with the rim tape, as the flats keep happening in different spots. He said that she's staying strong and he'll be out there on the course to check up on her the whole way. I told him to tell her that she's a rock star and that if she can get off that bike, there is no stopping her. This is a tough situation to deal with mentally, I can't even imagine. She's at mile 20 and is going to keep pedaling!
Stef - you rock!!! So, as our heroine conquers the bike course, I will share some pictures. She may hate these, but I owe you people the news!
Crazy wind!
