We were able to see Sam 8+ times, and he was easy to spot because, well mostly because he looked so “HOT”, all decked out in his favorite Red, Black and White! Every time we saw Sam he looked like he was charging forward and kicking butt which earned him the nickname “Italian Stallion”! When we cheered for him the Smile on his face went all the way around his head. He looked like he was having the ride of his life! And he was, finishing the bike in 5 hours 18 minutes and a new PR, AMAZING!!
O.K. no matter how you slice it, at this point these guys have been full throttle for nearly 6 hours! Try to do anything with this kind of intensity for 6+ hours. Now they have to run a Marathon, and oh, by the way it was 93 degrees! So as Jessi and I saw it, here is where the real “over the top” cheering had to come in! These guys needed some fresh inspiration, and a boost of energy that would carry them to the finish line.
Keeping in line with our original goal to be the BEST cheer and support team ever, we pulled out the stops! So here we are cheering on our guys Roger #490 & Sam #562 at the ½ way turn around of the Marathon. It was no surprise to us when they both finished with new PR’s! Helloooooooo, BEST cheer and support team ever!!!!!!!!

I think they should give awards to the most outrageous spectators! I think you and the crew would have won! I don't know anyone else that would have stood along the road in their underwear!!!
Looking forward to watch you come up with for Kona!
