Well….we’re here! Did our skills testing today. Second fastest team to finish our skills testing! Probably as close to the top teams as we will ever be. Sorting gear today. Race briefing tomorrow and the start on Monday at 10:00 am. Wish us luck!

Hypothermia testing picture below. Water temp 48 degrees. Our training on the black river paid off! We laughed at the water temperature. Felt like a hot tub!
 
Ropes testing below. We had to ascend the rope. Transfer at mid rope. Top out on the chairlift tower and the switch to rappell. Lots of fun!

Dear Chris and Teammates,
Good Luck on your adventure. What an amazing undertaking! And Chris, thanks for representing Brookfield, WI. What you are experiencing now is a far cry from a walk around the block in our neighborhood, eh? The Saubers are rooting for an excellent finish for you all.
