Congratulations Kevin! Hopefully, you have read my email to you from earlier today after I saw your photo running through today's finish line. Also just read your blog. Ouch! One more (short) run tomorrow and then you can start to heal, recuperate and really appreciate the enormous, insane adventure you undertook. Good luck on the rest of the race.

Kevin, as I said in my email to you earlier today, I'm in awe of the determination and fierce will and endurance you and your fellow competitors are exhibiting. One more difficult race tomorrow. Good luck. Stay strong! We will have a "talk" about this crazy habit of yours when you get home!!! Thanks for taking the time to write today's blog. Being your Mom, I share in your pain but I'm so very proud of you. Love you.

Way to hang in there you are doing a great job ,son . You will do just fine think the next time you will have to choose different snacks . Thru the day really don't get much done just looking at the computer to see if they have an up date. But think you are doing just fine keep up the good times.

Kevin, for stage 4/5, the hardest one to battle through, "put your big boys' pants on and get through it" - the words you told another exhausted, weary competitor in the Atacama Desert - soldier on, my son. You can do it again! Lots of family and friends are rooting for you. Much love from your Mom

So happy to get your blog tonight. Some comments to you were posted earlier today under Stage 1 blog. I wish you a good run tomorrow. Stay hydrated and safe. So far your race time has been awesome. Glad you had 2 running buddies today. I thought that was the case when I read today's race results as the three of you had nearly the same running time. Hope you get to enjoy the beauty of the race course a bit. Good luck, dear son. Be safe and stay well. Save some strength for the "long run" on Wednesday.
