Safe & Sound

Well, those of us who made the return journey via the SAG Van arrived at the Holland LPC around 1:45 AM on Thursday night / Friday morning depending on how you like to look at it. I believe I rolled into bed around 2:15 AM. It was a long day of sitting still in a van, but it is super duper good to be home. I think my legs and back were more sore on the ride home in the van than they were the entire trip, likely because the muscles were confused. Here they had just gotten used to being pushed to their limits on a daily basis, and now what, we're just gonna sit all day in a van?

Now that we've been back for a few days, I think my body is starting to understand that we're done. My metabolism doesn't have to keep up with burning an average of 600 calories per hour for 8-10 hours, which goes hand in hand with not needing to consume upwards of 4-5000 calories a day.

All of us from the ride are hoping to get together soon to continue swapping stories and scobies (ask john).

To each of you who have supported, encouraged, and followed us along the way, we are all truly grateful to you. We could not have done this trip without you.

I will wait a few weeks and then post where we landed as far as fund raising goes.

Until then.
