The Dirt - Adventure Racing according to Robyn Benincasa
presented by Merrell - Wigwam

Everything's going well. I just saw the team run by. They were in a cluster of 5 teams with Nike leading at a trot. All of the teams were looking very thirsty and it'll be a couple of hours before they'll make it to a water point.

Robyn was in good spirits...she looks good.

This is only day one and there is going to be a HUGE attrition rate. The race director said he would be happy if 20 teams finished.

I haven't been able to get messages out as often as I'd hoped, but once in a while I get a signal and can pump one out.

This is kinda like sending messages in an electronic bottle, here goes nothing...
