Day 12 Finishes

An exciting  day on the road as they coursed through a sobering Gettysburg.  We met up with Tony O'Keefe, still riding strongly and with a big smile on his face.  He gutted out the Appalachians to finish an impressive fourth place.

Thomas Strebel overcame a knee injury he developed before the Appalachians to finish fifth.  Kevin Kaiser also finished strong to bring his 2010 RAAM campaign to an end.

As the clock winds down to the official finish this evening in Annapolis, you can find the individual finish results here and the team results here.  We hope to see Rob Morlock, Dr. Michael Nehls, Ferenc Szonyi, and Julian Sanz finish before the cut today. 

Dex Tooke is still plugging along with quite a ways yet to ride.  Sabrina Bianchi and Michele Santilhano are still legging out their assault on the 2010 RAAM solo.  The majority of the teams have completed their races as well, but a few remain out on the roads.

We had the pleasure of sharing the elation Team Arndt shared as they checked into the final time station before the three-mile ceremonial run-in to the dock in Annapolis.  These were some happy guys, after just completing the race under the seven day goal they'd set for themselves (by a scant four minutes)!

Media 2 signed off, hoisted a few drinks in celebration and headed back to their respective homes.  The 2010 Race Across America is in the books.  It is good to be home and it's fantastic not to have miles to cover today.  Thanks for reading and I look forward to bringing you more information about Jake North Photography in the future.
