Pain- Sept 23rd: Jeff Martens

Just when I thougth the wind was going to kill us all. 200km with the dreaded wind in our face...help me! Our team was plagued with illness. Les and Michael were hit with a stomach bug, I continued to lose my fight with the flue and to top it off my knee went. As I was about to go in the van...Joe, and Phillippe told me they would push me all the way to Cornwall before letting me entering the van. I did not get in the van. Sean approached me and said...every man has a part... and this afternoon my part wouldn't be pulling the team, it would simple be a player in a team of tremendous atheletes and leaders. These guys are amaizing I feel priviledged to be apart of this group...thanks guys... you brought me home.
