What an exhiliarating few minutes!! Dr. Botha has finished the Furnace 508! This is an absolutely incredible accomplishment! WOW!
I asked Arlene to text me just before he crossed the finish line so that I could watch live on the website's webcam and it was incredible to see him finish! He walked over to the camera and waved. I was able to watch him get his medal. I could not be more proud! GO DAD!
Woooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Here are a couple of pics from the finish line courtesty of Chris Kostman and the Furnace Creek 508 website.
