Major thanks to Lintz Bros. Pizza, a very popular, and tasty, South Dakota pizza shop that is a favorite amongst the locals. Last night, Lintz Bros. delivered a stack of pizzas to PQ finish line so that the tired and hungry racers had something to chow on after the race was complete. From the looks in the eyes of th racers while eating, I can tell you that it was much appreciated by everyone involved.

It has been a busy morning today at Primal Quest Headquarters in Rapid City, as a number of teams have reached the finish line at long last. Amongst them are Team InnerStrength, the aptly named Team 29, the Kickapoo Scouts, Team MAAR (Middle Aged Adventure Racers!), and SC2/Synergy Racing. Congratulations to all of these teams for finishing the Quest! You’re an inspiration to us all.

Team Tecnu Extreme/Staphaseptic Adventure Racing became the last team to complete the full course of Primal Quest Badlands presented by SPOT earlier today when they rolled across the finish line in great spirits. In all, the racers covered more than 600 miles of South Dakota backcountry as they became just one of ten teams to finish the full course, something they should all be very proud of. Great work team!

Early this morning two more teams came across the finish line, beating the noon cut-off and completing the course as official, but short coursed, teams. Congratulations to Five Ten/Numa and Active Racing for finishing the World’s Most Challenging Human Endurance Competition.
