I think it was just a rough day for both of them, and it I thought it spoke to Chris's devotion that he waited it out when things got rough. I'm sure he and Charlotte had a good discussion about racing/crewing for significant others. It's not an easy situation. <br /><br />And I really didn't do that much to help Beat get to the finish. He was never genuinely contemplating quitting and of course would have been fine without me, but I was grateful to have the opportunity to experience the race from that perspective. I should also clarify that he was really sweet to me the entire time and didn't ever ask anything of me even though I was practically begging him to make me do something unfun like tape his feet, just to satisfy this my "I want to help you" urge. It was a great experience.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-61252306505379209012011-01-20T10:49:06.929-07:002011-01-20T10:49:06.929-07:00Poor Chris.
