Quote from The Great TB Race of 2009 homepage:
http://tbrace.wordpress.com/2009-race-details/
Coming in at 2nd place is Oversizeoregon, whose TB Hummer earned 205 points more than our 3rd place winner. TB Hummer was the clear leader in November, in line for winning the race before getting passed up with a late jump by our Grand Prize Winner. It’s last logged interaction with a cacher was in early December, which contributed to it’s loss of the top spot. But TB Hummer had some excitement during the course of the race. In June, it was picked up by a cacher in SouthEast England and wasn’t seen for two months. Then, in one of the larger jumps in the entire race, it popped back up in INDONESIA, over 7700 miles away! Then, in a stroke of luck, it got picked up 30 minutes later by another cacher (NOTE: As far as I’ve been able to research, and I spent time on this, it was pure luck and this wasn’t a group exchange.), then taken back to Europe, this time to the Netherlands. This single trip to Indonesia earned over 15,000 miles. And based on the logs from the cache visited, it was EXTREMELY lucky, as it was archived less than a month later due to problems. For finishing in 2nd Place, Oversizeoregon will receive:
* 1 nano cache with spare log, courtesy of rjholland
* 1 Contryguy geocoin, donated by Contryguy
* 1 Chiro geocoin, donated by Dr. Neal
* 1 My Traveling Two Cents geocoin, donated by CoinsAndPins
* 1 Out on the Water geocoin, donated by Eltada
* 1 American Cacher gift pack, including 1 geocoin, 1 magnet, 1 patch, 1 lapel pin, 1 screen cleaner, 1 pencil, 1 Rite in Rain logbook, some muggle cards, and 1 Geocache Sticker (each labeled American Cacher), donated by Landsharkz
