Today started off great with a hearty breakfast sponsored by the Jenny Slippers of Muleshoe. Today's 70-miler into Lubbock ended up being pretty tough due to some pretty strong crosswinds. However, spirits were high because we were completing the Gauntlet! Tomorrow will be our first day of rest since we were in Tempe. 810 miles in 9 days has taken it's toll on us. When we arrived, were had a sponsored meal at Cane's fried chicken, which was amazing. Afterward, we spent all afternoon at the Texas Tech Rec Center pool. The pool is incredible; it has everything. At one point, about 30 of us clogged up the lazy river while napping on floatations. We looked pretty goofy with our intense cycling tan lines, which I've been told take 2 years to get rid of. Later, we had a dinner at the Lubbock State Supported Living Center, which we will be returning to tomorrow for a friendship visit/lunch. And I'm very excited to sleep in tomorrow! I haven't slept past 5 since Tempe. Here's a photo of the rec pool/lazy river.
