Good news - they made it to TA9-Cottonwood (CP18) at about 6:30pm!
It looks like the SPOT tracker is not keeping up with our team's blistering pace - and I do mean blistering. The 145 miles that they have covered on foot so far have really taken a toll on their tootsies. They are napping briefly, and then they'll take off on their mountain bikes for 85 miles through CP19-Ringling until they reach TA9 - Springhill where they will meet up with the support crew again tomorrow morning. It should take them about 6 hours to reach Springhill. From there, it's back on their feet for a trek in the Bridger Mountains. The plan is to do that during the daytime so they can enjoy the good views, so the sooner they reach Springhill, the more rest they'll get.
Unfortunately, the local Montana team (Team Big Sky/Flathead Beacon) had to withdraw from the race. Two of the team members were a husband-wife couple and her feet were in such bad shape that they decided not to continue.
Go Team Shasta/Core Concepts! You're over halfway there now.

Keep it up Shasta! Tracey, we'll be thinking of you tonight and tomorrow as we take on the Cradle. Not nearly as cool as you, but we're going to pretend:) We'll be thinking of you guys and hoping we get some updates along the way. Keep up the awesome work and we'll be checking in Sunday night or Monday morning.
Take care of those feet!
Brent
