I spoke to Gary Barnes of TexOz today - Gary was also a RAAM 2006 TDL rider.
"This is a little more than last year," he said. He went on to say that he has a recurring intermittent heart flutter and it kicked up while he was riding. "I had a little atrial (sp?) flutter, a heart problem. They gave me some meds, it takes a while, about 24 hours to kick in."
His crew pulled him off the road a while so he could rest. But he's back on the road and doing well. Gary is trading 30 minute rotations with his TDL teammate Pete Wilson from Oztrailia.
"Pete, he's an inspiration," said Gary.
Gary welcomes all the positive thoughts that are flooding his way.

To TDL TexOz and TDL Beauty and the Beast,
So sorry to hear about Gary's health issues yesterday, but I am glad to hear he is doing better, and even riding again! Way to take up the temporary slack, Pete!
Just read about Deborah's crash and ambulance trip to the hospital for a precautionary exam. Thankfully it sounds like it wasn't too serious!? Let’s pray that Deborah is OK first of all… and if possible, that she can continue her race! It would be a shame for such a competitor to be unable to give it her all to the finish.
Way to go all TDL teams! Thank you all for your great blogs and pics. Along with the RAAM website, it helps us at home enjoy this great race and each of your performances!
Our best wishes to each of you on your "home stretch"!
Mark Schaal
