Stage 3 - the final birthday celebration

My wonderful French friends - Gerard, icole, Jean-Herve, Melyne, Alain, Christophe, Roger, Fabrice & J-B - just gave me a great birthday cake complete with candles. (I can't seem to post the picture...anyhow...) Excellent friends to spend my birthday with, if I can't be home.

Hey Coach,
Just caught up with you on your adventure. Good luck, happy birthday and try floating a little harder to avoid those blisters.

Russell,

You're officially on our list of heroes. Kristen wants to know what you eat for dinner and how many calories it is. Of course we won't be upset if you can't answer during the race! And she's asked me to say that she thinks you're amazing.

Russ, Happy Birthday! And God speed on your journey. But I'm curious. How are you going to carry all those tshirts and souveniers that we all expect you to bring back? :)

Just kidding. Come back in one piece. Or two at most.
