Most teams finish grueling Cheyenne-to-Casper race

Twenty-5 of 28 teams successfully completed the 3-day Cowboy Tough expedition race between Cheyenne and Casper. The race began Thursday at Curt Gowdy State Park west of Cheyenne. Teams competed to visit as many checkpoints as possible while trekking, climbing, biking, canoeing and orienteering their way to Casper. Racers covered more than 300 miles by the time the race ended Sunday. Tecnu Adventure Racing finished first among the four-person teams with a time of 2 days, 23 hours and 47 minutes. Tecnu racer Bob Miller says he persevered despite severe cramping on the first day. A two-person team called Untamed New England was the top finisher overall. Team members Erik Grimm and Jason Urckfitz finished in 2 days, 23 hours and 33 minutes.
