A fellow cyclist tried to guide her in, but it was incredibly hard going, so he left her with his sleeping bag and booked it to the next checkpoint to send back help. She's fine now, recovered her sight and everything. But MAN! Frostbite, on your eyes!!! Did anyone read the race report about the cyclist who got frostbite ON HER EYES????

It's absolutely incredible what people can do when they put their minds to it. Most days, I can barely put my mind to making breakfast!

Sure wish the updates were more frequent. It's was a tiring week trying to stay up to date on her progress when there were no updates. Yeah, like that was tiring......maybe I should go bike in the snow and talk about tiring. Way to go Jill!!
