If you look at the Lotoja results in order for the Preston stop, and throw out the chip errors and DQ's (1 to 10), then the 3rd fastest time to the first check was: TERRY DEEBLE! Almost 1100 riders come through, and we beat the pros and everybody. Humm, maybe we were a little hot on that first leg...

No wonder I sucked for the next 70 miles. : )
