A little word from the team

Hey everyone,

Hope all is well in the land of non-confusion...we just got back to Punta Arenas after our epic and man are we in lala land...I got a quick sum up before bed just to give you all a teaser.

130km biking
339km treking...make that 12km on trail the other 326 BUSHWACKING!
0 Km Kayaking
110 km on a schooner
57 km on chilean navy vessel 1
378 km on chilean navy vessel 2

Rounding us out at 469 KM of racing before they stopped the last teams standing and said [this is it you are finished].

Everyone is safe, I took 8 hours of video, we took over 400 pictures, have 10 toenails about to fall off, lots of chilean people think we are the coolest, tons of great stories, and a healthy reminder that the simple things in life we take for granted are very prescious. So, where ever you are take one minute, close your eyes and think of three luxuries you have that many people dont...then take a deep breath and try not to forget them.

We made it! 4th Place overall

Contratulations to all of you! We are so proud of all you've accomplished. Have any of you thought about trying out for the "Survivor" show?! Seems like you've had some prep for that! Can't wait to hear all about it.
