Who Gives Kudos:

Chris here!  I met the guys at Pelham Bay Park this morning at around 6:06 a.m. and they were in good, grumpy, and relieved spirits.  There was a surprising number of media people; when I arrived at 5:50, CBS radio and Reuters were there but some media people were already on the train.  The Reuters lady told me that they were on BBC World!  How crazy is that?

So yes, they did accomplish the goal of beating 25 hours and 11 minutes.  They can give you that run-down when they get back from CNN in Midtown.  They gave a ton of interviews, and I doubt any of us remembers what we said to whom.  [I did give two interviews, but I don't remember to whom.] 

Tell us where you saw us this morning!  I don't know that the guys care, but I do.  I videotaped most of the craze.

Ah!  I *just* saw a blurb of Don and Matt on CBS; it's hilarious because Don looks so grumpy in just the few seconds they showed.  I think he was looking for a bathroom and didn't expect people to be following him.

The Post has a two inch blurb today that says "Record 'derailed'" which talks about how the guys didn't break the Guinness Book record-- that's silly because they've said from the beginning that they're not trying to beat that record.  It allows for out-of-subway system transfers, and they are following the amateur rules.  The writer from the Post says that his article was actually much longer but it got chopped up.  Surprising.  The guys are too tired to care: they just want to go to bed.  Matt also says his pants haven't been this loose in a long time.

Thanks to Travis for referring from Subwayblogger.com's blurb
which refers you to the WCBS site report.
