CNN's Richard Quest just showed footage of Brian Todd's journey on CNN International. "There may be no traffic," he said. "But it's taken Brian a heck of a long time." -

Brian Todd says he's finally made it. "I am at the DC bureau, getting out," he says as he jumps out of the car.
-
With Brian Todd's arrival, the final results are in. Drum roll please...
Nic Robertson: 3:03:44
Lisa Desjardins: 4:31:57
Brian Todd: 5:15:32
"That is what you call a butt kicking," Todd says, still smiling -- and catching his breath -- after racing into the studio. -
He may not have been first to arrive in Washington, but Brian Todd definitely won the race on one front: cost. One tank of gas for his SUV was about $70, he says, and tolls were another $25. Lisa Desjardins shelled out around $260 for her one-way train ticket. And Nic Robertson, well, let's just say he wasn't traveling on the cheap. His plane ticket was around $450, he says, plus $50 for the taxi.
