PQ Montana – Race Days 1 – 3 Recap (Part One)
The first day of the race was spent in the shadow of Lone Mountain which meant I had really great mobile phone reception, which meant I could blog events as they occurred. In addition to the many notes I was writing down into my Moleskine notebook (“the legendary notebook used by European artists and thinkers for the past two centuries” – woohoo!) as well as in addition to the many, many photos I was taking with my several cameras, I managed to capture a few shots with the cameraphone and email them to Flickr, which then automagically crossposted text and image to the blog. Days two and three have taken me further and further away from the start and into decidedly less cell phone friendly areas. And so while I have continued to fill the notebook with near illegible notes and have continued to take many, many photos with my several cameras, I have not been able to “live blog” the race.
Today, Race Day #3, was spent out on the course and once more I found myself with only the spottiest of cell coverage. I would write more now, or edit more photos now, but I drove over 300 miles and need to put myself into hibernate mode for a few hours. There’s a pretty good chance that my dreams are about to be filled with images of teams trekking, biking, and sleeping out in the cold and the dark.
