Last 3 weeks

3 weeks ago we had one of our best weeks in recent memory (over 500 miles), followed by a solid week (440 miles), followed by a lackluster week (390 miles), and I expect the current Thanksgiving week to be one of our worst. On the bright side, we will all have lots of turkey to work off so we should really start to pick up the pace.

We are currently near the village of Ytyk-Kyuyol in the Sakha (Yakutia) region of Russia. Those that are fans of the game Risk certainly are familiar with the region, formerly known as Yakust (the city of Yakust is the capital of the region), not to mention the folly of engaging in a land-battle in Asia.

We are about 2000 miles from Alaska, if we keep the shoulders to the grindstone I think we can get there.

Some people have really been stepping up of late, including Megan (225 miles the last 3 weeks), Katie (190 miles the last 3 weeks), Rachel (37 miles running the last 3 weeks), Chris Fry (leading runner the last 3 weeks with 65.2 miles), and Chris Ruf (35 miles biking the last 3 weeks). Keep up the good work.
