News from Rawlins

After a long chat last night Paul has decided to withdraw from this race. He has been suffering every day since the start but has still managed to complete 0ver 1400 miles in less than 10 days and I have no doubt he could struggle through to the finish if he had enough time. However this seems pointless as he is not able to enjoy the ride as he would want! He has achieved an experience of the trail and learnt a lot and can always compete again next year when he is not battling sickness as well as everything else! I know he is a little disappointed but there are plenty more challenges out there!!
He plans to try to visit Scott and then return here to Atlanta to prepare for his trip to the UK next week!!
