1. As of Friday night Bimble had been in bed all day – sick since getting on the plane with a migraine – the kind that make it difficult to keep food down….. ARGH!! Guthrie said she thought he would pull through to make the start…. but he was real sick.
2. This morning heard from Guthrie – he did start -her text said he was 13.5 miles in 6 hrs and 15 min —- second text confirmed a typo…. it was 2 hrs 15 min – Yeah Bimble!!
If the clouds clear – tonight would be very bright with a full moon – at that altitude – you wouldn’t need a headlamp – it is like daylight…. forecast called for clouds and snow though….. will keep you posted – if you hear please post! Thanks, – I may just update by adding to the comments here….. IGGY

Guthrie reprted “He is determined to finish!”
Next stop Fish hatchery mile 76.4
also reports of Pouring rain and COLD.
this is all I know at 6:19 this morning East coast time
Jerry decided to drop at mile 77 due to being sick with migraine and vomiting the day before and too little nourishment during the race lead to hand swelling, low body temp and sore kidneys. Needless to say “AWESOME EFFORT” was reported by Guthrie! I am sure Jerry is disappointed but hopefully he will recover and be proud of his amazing effort under some very extreme circumstances.
SENDING OUT SOME PEACE, LOVE AND REST FROM CONNECTICUT TO COLORADO!!
Awesome effort, take good care. We look forward to seeing you both ASAP!!
