Chelsea! What at gal! We here in Provo are all exhausted from watching the GPS tracking and the leader board following Chelsea across the map. Our hearts stopped (figuratively) when the speed showed O.O mph at about mile 130. They started beating again when we saw the little arrow representing Chelsea and her dogs start moving up the trail again and the speed showed 6.2 mph. Then just a short ways from the finish (about one inch on the map) things seemed to stop again. They they went on again, and then, finally, Jeff called and said SHE IS IN!! 6th place!!! Congratulations, Chelsea, our little sweetheart. Now you have learned how strong your are and that you can do anything you set your mind to.
We hope to devote much of our campfire time this summer (Mark your calendars - August 15 through August 20, Christmas Meadows) to Chelsea for a step by step through the entire Jr. Iditarod. GG
Wahoo! We, too, were exhausted by watching the GPS dot move up the map. I can only imagine the REAL fatigue you must have gone through, Chelsea! This is really something phenomenal that you have done, and we are all in awe. I really hope you come camping in Christmas Meadows with us this August. All of you. That would be the greatest thing...
ReplyDeleteI have been bragging to all of my Office of the General Counsel colleagues about Chelsea. I am a much cooler person around the office now, simply by association with Chelsea.
