"Whooooohooooo!!!! Looks like you'll be in Hanalei before this comment even posts!!!!! We are dancing and thinking great thoughts for everything to go smoothly!!Way to go Ruben and SPARKY!!!!!!!!!!
Do make sure to give us, your fans, some details on how it feels to finally make it and what it was like, after, of course, you give your greeters gigantic hugs, drink your Mai Tai and get some sleep. You may think that you would have rather finished in the pack without this problem, but I tell you, once you've pulled through, you wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Think of what you showed yourself, and all of us, that you could do. Bet you learned and grew way more from this than you could possibly have done by finishing with the others. You handled this, what's next!!! Best wishes and Congratulations!!!!!!" - Kristen (Oakland)
