Diana just arrived. Alina's loving jumping on the bed! skies cloudy, but not any rain or snow here. snow frosted on the mountains.

 
 
 
 

early hours of :L100

at 4a this morning for the race start, it was 39 degrees with a steady drizzle. it's about 8:30a now, and the skies are socked in gray, and it's been raining steadily with thunder all morning. Probably about the worst weather day all summer, and it coincides with the big race. I hope Helen has enough clothes; I'm pretty sure she does. We won't see her until about 2p this afternoon, when we drive Kate out to Winfield at the 50mi mark.

Helen suffers but still gets 4th

Devon from the paper wrote a great article about Helen's race. check it out.
