Day 8

Dan has been having a tough day, 3 days in the heat have finally taken their toll. During the last section from Washington to the Mississippi Daniel has been feeling increasingly "flat" and his speed has been decreasing. In order to avoid any major problems he has stopped 20 miles short of the Mississippi TS and is having a rest/sleep until the temperatures drop and then they'll continue to the timestation and probably rest up early for the night, stopping before then. He will lose some time but hopefully it will give him a chance to fully rehydrate and get those pedals turning once again. It looks like the temperatures will ease off a little as they continue east.
