I think you made the right decisions since it was a we trip from the beginning. The bright side is you both had fun together finish or not. LOL

“Failure” is an interesting word to use in this context. “Fun with CTR Attempt” or something similar is more like it.

You guys were physically well prepared with attitudes to match. Excellent ride and thanks for the inspirations!!!

It was great to see you guys and hopefully we will again soon.

What a wonderful ride Emily!! So let me see, do I understand correctly that you don’t have a history of endurance racing and made CTR your first? You rode a huge chunk of difficult trail in difficult conditions, congrats!

Thanks for sharing and I look forward to see what crazy ideas you cook up next.

Em, Great write up on the race! What a great way to celebrate a birthday! You’re amazing and I’m really impressed with what you did. Sorry we weren’t able to see you and Scott when you were in CO, but there will be more opportunities, I’m sure.

Comment on Can you go back to where you’re from? by Somebody close

I notice Em’ assiduously avoids the well known phrase “can you ever go back home?” Of course not. There may be some mythological “home” in everyone’s mind, but home is and forever will be “wherever you are when you have good feelings, friends, activities. Home is where you enjoy being who you are and feel comfortable”. So, in this way you are not only coming back to where you are from. You are coming back to one of your homes.

Kick ass, be careful, good decision to bring the synthetic bag.
