Tina, it was a pleasure having you in this race. You always had smile on your face even when you were crying. Congratulations on crossing the Atacama Desert, one of the toughest places on Earth. I hope to run into you in another race.

If you die, the Atacama will mummify you and stupid tourists will visit and point from the safety of their air conditioned cars. Don't let them win!

That's my girl! Top 50 making me proud! So fast! So strong. So unbelievable. I read this aloud to my parents in the hotel and I was crying the entire time. Your rawness and vulnerability is unreal. you can do this!!! That vulnerability is absolutely the most needed and inspiring thing to me right now. I am praying for you right now with my family. I pray that you will continue to be your amazing and unstoppable self every moment from now until the finish line and beyond. Love you UltraTina!!!

I'm so happy to hear that it's going so well! You're my hero, Tina! P.S. The thing that cracks me up about these races is the atypical things you have to worry about wildlife in Sri Lanka and cacti in Atacama - not things I suppose you know how to (or even can) train for, but somehow you persevere through always! Love you, sweet girl!

Collyn Cooper

Woohoo! Freaking cacti. I love you so much. So glad stage one is complete with no injuries and that you are enjoying your time in the desert with all the other kindred spirits:)
