After a 36 to 41 hour day for many of us, we were spent. Nearly everyone had issues with the T-Mobile connection in Cologne, but Steve has promised that this won’t affect anyone’s standings.

I gave up at 1:30 a.m. and tried again the next morning. Not only did I manage to get the contest videos up, but I was able to upload my daily report for Gadling as well, even if it meant we’d be 20 minutes late out the door for our challenges for a second day in a row.

Here’s a run down from our perspective of the race. (we spent most of the time in Dusseldorf and Duisburg)

One thing is for sure, there are some really nice people competing in this event. We really do like ‘em all!

We’ve just arrived at our next city, Amsterdam, where we’ll be competing tomorrow, Wednesday. So far, the WiFi looks good!
