I just re-read your R2R2R reports now that there's a chance I might be doing it later this year. Isn't your profile picture from your first trip there? It does not bode well...

Yes indeed! I believe Jon Allen snapped that picture of me with less than a mile to go on our 2010 R2R2R.

You would think I'd be ecstatically happy at that point right?

Still. one of the best experiences ever. I may do it for the third time this year.

Did you read Jon or Cody's report from the same date? Theirs have pictures.

Only a mile from the finish?! Yikes. I need to re-read theirs, too, it's been a while. I wonder how one even knows if one is prepared to do such a thing. I'll be waiting to see if you do it!

I didn't know that the story behind the photo not only had an easily accessible story, but also had many points of view on the story.
