Hello Everyone!
The MdS competitors are now competing in the second day of the 2007 MdS race. After reading the results last night, I am over the moon about the Dreamchasers start! Of course, Mds is a stage race and day # 1 is very early...but I do need to share a little bit of my pride about my husband, Jay. He finished day # 1 as the first American in the rankings, 3hr 51min, in place # 118. Day One covered 29.3 km.
Three of the women I coach did exceptionally well, too. Sandy McCallum was in place # 231, with a time of 4hr 35min. Elizabeth Smith was in place # 410, with a time of 5hr 19min 50sec. Patrice Clapacs was in place # 411, with a time of 5hr 19min 51sec. Great going, gals!
And the second day of the race is well in progress, with temporary results already being posted on the official race website: www.darbaroud.com It looks like the Ahansal brothers are once again giving each other a run for the money! I still remember when they came to visit Jay and I in New Jersey some years ago. They are amazing men and they loved to bowl - something they did for the first time with us!
Reading about the conditions of the race brings back a lot of memories. Hearing that it was a very cold evening before the first stage didn't surprise me. That's a big challenge at MdS - the temps swing.
I will write more tonight when the full results come in for day # 2. I know you join me when we think about our racers and the experience they are jumping into!
Happy Feet!
Lisa

Thanks for the update, Lisa. Looks like Jay is reeling in and taking over some competitors (or they dropped out in Stage 2 - same difference). At that rate of advancement up the field, by the last day, he should be running shoulder to shoulder with the Ahansals! :)
Go Jay!
Thanks for Updates!! Go JAY & DreamChasers!!
