South America (March 16-22)

Best week so far, 550 total miles (532 land, 18 water). We are over 3,000 miles biking for the year, over 1,500 running, and just under 200 water miles.

The usual suspects (Chris Fry and Rachel for running, Mike and Rob for all-around) are still doing their damage, and we also got a great week from Katie (33 miles biking, 10.5 running), and great contributions from Beth (10 miles running) and Renee (17 miles biking).

As for our travels, we continued across the Darien Gap, crossing from Panama to Colombia along the way. We passed through several major cities, and also several national parks (here's a pretty cool picture from Panachi, aka Chicamocha National Park). We just crossed over the Colombia/Venezuela border before coming to rest.

After this current week we will be roughly 25% done with 2009, and I will update our team and individual progress. Have a good week, stay healthy out there.
