Not on the tracker but the Storb’s quad first in. Race is on for second!

Sadly, I battled stomach issues from around Blake island on. Around Kingston the wind and waves picked up and I felt too uncomfortable to continue. Since I hadn’t planned on stopping I was completely unprepared for any more than a few minutes break and called for support at about 3:00 am, ending my race. I’m disappointed but I feel it would have been dangerous to continue in the conditions with the state I was in.

Good luck too all the teams remaining!

Way to get out there and give it your best, Kevin! Sorry you had trouble, and hope your stomach bug passes quickly (no pun intended). I saw your marker at Kingston about 5.30 am and was wondering if you'd had trouble. Glad to have the update and know you're ok, though disappointed I'm sure.

Correction: the quad bonked at the canal and came in second. First was Greg Spooner and Thiago Silva. Third was Ken Deem (first single)

Thanks David, I’m feeling better after some rest.
