Although he's exhausted with an extremely sore rear end, there is no thought of stopping for Dr. Botha! He is nearing the end of Stage seven and the final stretch is (THANKFULLY) downhill! I've been sending his messages of support to Arlene via text message and she says they are helping his resolve. He has just had a big burst of energy. Whether it's the messages or the energy gel packs, we'll never know ;-)
Butterfly (also known as Andi Ramer) is still nearby and looking for her first 508 finish as a solo cyclist!
Both of you can do it!
Keep going!!!!!!!!!!
