We're watching YOU!! Hang in there--you're doing great! XO Your fans in Amherst!!!
You’ve got this!!
Captains log Day 8 of no mother on the Mothership. Rations are running low, but morale is high. The Mothership has taken some damage but the weekend is upon were we should be able to dock and make the necessary repairs before the triumphant return of the Mother Dragon back to the ship. Sincerely Big Daddy Knox!
You guys are doing great! A little water makes everything more fun fun fun!
Glad you had a productive night. The villiage you are in right now looks really cool. I hope the trek goes well. You may get some more rain tonight but hopefully nothing like what you have endured the last couple of days. Stay dry and have fun. The finish line is getting closer and it looks like you have some amazing scenery to enjoy this afternoon.
This is the weather Clay knows and loves so just have him carry all the stuff and everyone will be smiling! Based on the pictures, looks like you four are doing well at that. Go Team ThisABILITY!
Yea Team. That was some great navigation and true grit. Glad to see you made it into Delnice and can find a warm dry place and gets some grub and maybe a quick transition. Very impressive AR leg.
Go Team ThisABILITY. It looks like you had to tackle some unchartered mountains at night and in bad weather. AT 3 AM your time, it looks like you are sticking to the high ground. You are doing super given the circumstances. This will be a race to talk about for quite a while. Keep making fun memories. At least much of the rest of this leg looks down hill.
Go ThisABILITY! If I could persevere to find the field to leave you this message, you surely can complete this expedition race! It was easy to find the trail mail others had left, and I saw that Chip's mom and dad had figured it out, so that gave me the encouragement I needed to keep trying. So, thanks to the Dodds for being trail mail blazers. I know the team appreciates it! And keep up the great work ABILITY!!
You are all doing AMAZING💪 Keep her lit!! No faffing & keep moving with purpose😉yahhhh
My dearest Caitlin I hope your enjoying your Croatian spring break. Things are well at home, although Papa Johns has filed a restraining order against us for our excessive calling for pizza. You guys seem to be doing well and moving at a good pace. I see your in Skrad currently I hear its nice there this time of year. If you see anyone you think may know me tell them I said what's up! Sincerely yours Big Daddy Knox
Orange soda called, they want their CRUSH back. They fear you’re using it all up on this course. Great job, keep CRUSHING it!
I am glad to see you have a chance to get our of the rain and get some delicious grub. You must have had a very challenging night given the weather and it looks like more is headed your way. You seem to be doing great and we hope you have a much easier night. Looks like it will be down hill for a while. Bob and Shelia
Keep up the great work & have an amazing time on Igor’s guided tour showcasing the stunning beauty of Croatia!
Looking great! Geaux Caitlin!
Cheering you on from Split!!
Wow - the race looks amazing thus far and you four are kicking butt! So excited to see where you go next, but know we're here watching and rooting for you . Go Team ThisABILITY!
The bad guys would have to be hot on me and my crew's trail to be out there doing what you are doing tonight. I am so impressed and admire your stamina, devotion and skills. Amazing. Go team Go.
WOW! Great job finding OCP 20. You folks are rocking. Great job. I know that one was tough.
Keep on keeping on! You have a huge support group wishing you great health and great racing.
Chip. IT looks like you got the cold wet, soggy night you mentioned to receive a "Doing Great" message from home. Have fun. Dad
Looks like a fun and beautiful experience so far. You are doing great. It looks like CP9 is a bit of a challenge but that is an area where you will do super. Looking forward to hearing about the stories and seeing more pictures.
Good luck team!
