TBB Season is Officially Underway!

At 7:30 this morning in northern Minnesota, the TBB season was officially started in frigid -28F temps. Dave (Vino) is taking part in the Arrowhead 135 endurance race. You can follow the race on their blog here.
So far no mention of Vino. Also no mention of friend of the Brown Bear, Pat White. Good luck to both of them!
EDIT: The blog has been updated again. Sounds like there are 3 leaders out front, with Vino in a group of 5 behind them. Of the original 46 starters, 23 have dropped out. Go Dave!
EDIT2: Updated again. Only 18 people still racing. Vino and Pat are among those 18. Good job guys...keep pushing!
EDIT3: Another update now says that Dave has DNF'd. :( Still no update on the whereabouts of Pat. Nice job, guys. Just the fact that you were out racing in those conditions is an amazing feat by itself.

I just looked at the website. Was Dave dropped on his head as a child?

Way to go guys! I could use a Tri-Suit. Therefore I do not have to wear a speedo and tri top.
