So I'm looking around and I don't see any links for live results at Sebring? do they not support live timing at this race?

It's only live if you are there
The Racesmith site will post data but it isn't live.

Kristy Halvorsen has a Facebook post of one of her videos at the Frostproof turn around for the lead pack coming up to the poker chip barrel. I also shared her post on my Facebook page.
It looks like Larry might have been in too high of a gear starting back up after dropping his chip off and was wobbling and bumped into Jim but I can't tell for sure from the video.
Sounded like Larry and looked like his bike and he yelled out, "Sorry Jim" and the other guy looked like Jim.

Century times are starting to show up: http://www.racesmith.com/results/2017results/BikeSebringCentury021117.html
Jim took first with a time of 4:17:36
Larry came through at 4:17:58
ratz came through at 5:10:33
pluckyblond came through at 5:10:35. My guess is she eased a bit to help Bob's ego...

12 hour results look good, great to see so many CB peeps doing well. With no-one going home without doing a double ton and Jim winning the century?
I'm awe struck by Maria in the RAAM 24hr race, on her own in that category and as far as I can tell at this time only the top RAAM guy has done more miles than her - chapeau.

In thought; expanding the paradigm of traversity
Gosh I can't believe I came forth. That was one heck of an experience. Thank you for all those that were on the road side giving me a cheer ... From the bottom of my heart I can't tell you how rewarding that was.
Gracias to Cruzbike and everyone; really enjoyed the experience.
Highlights: Fighting with my bite valve and getting it working one minute before the start.
Somebody riding an Encore saying I was slow enough to eat an ice cream... And he was so fast he missed the turning.
Chain coming off as I was just running one chain ring without a guide.
Having to stop at a railway crossing as an express train rushes thru.
Not trusting my wahoo elemnt and trying to follow different people and going off track. All must have all contributed in slowing me down.
Getting a medal for coming forth ... Nice gesture. It means a lot to me.

A comedy of errors.
Well, taking my not great training this winter and the crazy things that happened, I managed a 3rd place in my age group with only 202.6 miles. LOL.
It all started a mile after the turn around at Frost Proof. Really sucked as my average was a tick over 20mph, good for me. The back felt squishy, so pulled over in a driveway and sure enough... once again my pro one tubeless and sealant failed to seal the leak. I tried to spin the punture down and all the goo just kept flowing. So, pulled out the trusty tube and went to pull the valve, what? This valve didnt come out. Fortunately, my buddy pull over and gave me one of his. Welp, pulled the valve, put one of my extenders (90mm flo rims) an loaded the tube, fired the co2 and would work. Not enough grip, soo, out with that tube and put a second extender on. Yea, that took! I'll have to see the data tomorrow to see the time loss. Felt like 20-30 minutes.
so, on the road again. I got to pass many of the ones that went by, so I had that going for me. Made it back to the track with 6h and some change left to go. After the first 11 mile loop, Imgot the worst case of hot feet I've ever had. I made a few more 11 mile loops and had finally had to stop, take off my shoes and just walk around for 15-20 minutes. I had just enough time to get one more 11 mile loop and 2 laps on the track.
short and sweet, but I'm beat... so, just over look grammar, etc. LOL

Ratz drive safely, and rest every hour, especially if they is no passenger to keep you alert!!!
Its good to see that you let The Boss cross the finish line 1 second in front of you!

Thanks Bob, love the photos, smiles, and sunshine. All involved were great. But I must say, it was hard to follow without live timing. Anyway congrats to all.
