I have to respect everyone that kept going this year! I was right with Chris when we turned around... we were going 3-5 miles per hour with 5 miles left til the statue and our gps was telling us we still had over 2 hours left just to reach it!
Like Chris said, we didn't like the idea of a night leg in New York Harbor, and I did not have a flashlight on board.
This was my 7th statue race and first time not finishing... it was kind of a bummer but we were on the road by the time the first boats were coming in, and that was after indulging in plenty of beer and food.
Congrats again to those 8 that finished! Can't wait til next year!
