After a delay that seemed interminable, we are back on the air to bring you the exciting results as we near the end of this month. Our reindeer are fighting hard to the finish, battling families, flights, and food as they wend their way through the holiday season. Which team will come out on top? Who is going to soar across the finish line? It's all so close, it's all so exciting!

With 84% of the month gone, last Friday's standings give us only the slightest clue about how our intrepid challengers are staring down their limiters.

1st: Vixens at 81.42%
2nd: Comets at 78.69%
3rd: Blitzens at 77.84%
4th: Dancers at 73.06%

The Vixens hold on to their lead! The battle between the Comets and Blitzens is antler to antler! The crowd goes wild cheering the Dancers on to a strong finish!

The suspense builds. This race is not over yet, folks. Not one team made the 84%, they all have work to do to crush their Limiters beneath them. Who will come out victorious? Who will topple the field? How will we stand the excitement??

Stayed tuned for a special installment bringing you the live finish to this phenomenal challenge right here inside your team thread. You won't want to miss it!

Hey BLITZEN!!!

No run for me today due to very low temparatures and my left knee and ankle acting up... That was probably a little to much running towards the end of the month.... I hope that a day off will do the trick.

Have a HAPPY HAPPY YEAR 2009!!!

Hey gang, I'm going to give people the weekend to get their blogs and spreadsheets updated - I'm worried with the holidays some people might not be online, and I don't get internet again until Sunday. Hope everyone has an awesome new year and you all start cranking on your new goals!

Could not agree more . With the extra challenge of  weather , holidays , excessive alcohol and food consumption ,  late nights and sniffly noses we got there and worked our limiters.

Now with our special broadcast, coming to you on the cold winter's night. With a huge bang and a great flourish, our hardy reindeer have swooped in on the finish of this challenge. We have faced our Limiters and grounded them while we flew off into the sunrise of 2009! Each team pushed on through the storms, the weather, the holidays, the gift-giving, the rooftop-landings, the Big Guy getting all nervous like he does every year, and that little Rudolph pipsqueak out front. You stayed tuned throughout this exciting series - without further ado, here are the grand results!

In fourth place, battling injury, sickness, travel, holiday stress and all else to prevail where few others could have prevailed, we have Team Dancer! Their members fought valiantly, and I'm sure they have a big push for the new year.

In third place, with a solid 93.70%, we have Team Comet! They encouraged, they prodded, they pulled, and they soared across the line into the new year!

In second place, battling back and forth all month in the standings, cheering each other on and pushing themselves to the limits, facing down 94.80% of their limiters, we have Team Blitzen!

And finally, the moment you've all been waiting for, with 84 pages of post padding team togetherness and a whopping 96.75% finished, the champions are Team Vixen!!!

The crowds go wild! Reindeer are stomping! The ground is trembling! All the teams join together for a stampede, scaring small children across the globe!

Congratulations to every team member - good work to you all, facing the demons that haunt us through our summer races and lurk behind our winter rest. Hopefully every one of you will be more prepared this coming season to crush the competition under your mighty hooves, and never again will you count this as your LIMITER!!!
