We headed out of Lubbock Sunday morning before the sun came up. We were all more than ready to leave Lubbock behind and head back to Wisconsin. We were lucky enough to have a stop at the halfway point in Missouri for some barbecue with Kelley Hess’s boyfriend’s parents. They had enough food to feed an army and we had appetites to match. 
Kelley regaled us with stories about her research in astronomy. I pretended I understood, but I was more focused on trying not to lick my plate clean! 
20 hours of driving later, it was nice to finally be home. Thanks to all my friends, family and teammates for your support and congratulations for this important and memorable race!
