Waiting at Miami- End of Day 1
Today was a great day! It is the end of day one only 2 and a half more days till Vince and Marianne cross the finish line and complete the race! Today was a smooth day as ground crew we navigated on land and made our way just fine stopping at local stores for ice to keep food cold and to replenish water at every chance we had. We met friends along the way and got to know the different racers. Vince lost his mouth piece to his water at the beginning of the race thankfully we have become masters at improvising and Vince is dealing wonderfully! Right now Carol and I are sitting by the water waiting for Vince and Marianne to come into Miami Missouri the final stop of the day. They should come in around 12 AM so until then we will try to stay awake! We have a dead car battery at the moment but are confident that one of our new friends will provide a helping hand. Vince and Marianne want to get back on the river fairly early in the morning the stats might not all be up to date but by the looks of them now it seems like Vice and Marianne are in 4th place in the mixed tandem division!! They are super excited and hope to really cover some ground tomorrow and catch up to the 3rd place team!

It was a great day we have Clarissa tucked in. We ate waiting for our team. A group is arriving and we think they may be in it.
ReplyDeleteThe third place Mixed Tandem left Miami at 22:10, about 2 hours before Vince and Marianne's expected arrival. Since that team seems to be paddling overnight, It's gonna be tough to catch them; best just to keep a comfortable pace in my opinion. There are plenty of DNF's in the Men's solo division to prove how brutal it is out there.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think the spot tracker is incorrectly placed in the Men's Tandem division at the moment. I've logged a question on the race site about that.
