Short Report I'm home and I still have all my apendages. Jim and Pat also made it home okay in case anyone is wondering. I'll post a detailed report tomorrow with pictures and videos. Until then here's the short story. Doug also has a great write up already if you need your blogging fix. Way to go Doug! Very cold race. -30F normal temperature and -45F wind chill on the weather channel when we left for the start. I made it to the checkpoint at mile 74 at 11:00pm. Pat White made it as well at 3:00am. Jim Grjalva almost made the check point, but came up 8 miles short when he was picked up by a snowmobile. Great job guys! More tomorrow when I'm rested.

glad to hear you are still alive and have all your fingers and toes!!
Nice job, Vino.
I was hitting refresh non-stop at work today on the Arrowhead blog, trying to track the race.
I'm amazed at the riders that braved that cold. Unbelievable.
Nice work, Dave. You made it far under those brutal conditions.
Hey Dave,
Glad you made it home to Fargo. Must have been the worst part after leaving GF!
Looking forward to your race report Dave. Congrats on making it as far as you did. Glad we had a chance to meet each other.
Good job on the big effort and for staying safe. I was rooting for you and Doug all day while refreshing the race blog to get updates.
Great job Dave. I can't even fathom doing that race! Great work!
