well, I guess I missed him! was hoping to see him come by town but nope! I am thinking he might have crossed the finish line by now, if not he's got to be close. I'm sure he is beat after that "float trip"!

Update on Gordon...talked to Lisa and at 11:52 he was 5 miles out...should put him in St Charles a little before 1:00!!! :yikes
Go Gordon GO!!! :ThumbsUpJumping Jacks Icon:ThumbsUp

Gordon hit the finish line at 12:59. So he paddled 340 miles in 77 hours and 59 minutes. He is back at the hotel passed out. There is an awards ceremony at 7:00 if any one wants to meet over there.

HE MADE IT!!!! Gordon has completed the race!!! White Flag Icon His total race time 77:59 hrs later he paddled 340 miles :yikes...his goal was to make it under 80 hrs and he did it just 1 min short of 78 hours! He compleated 63rd place in mens solo & over all 118th place...Congratulations Gordon your one to one tough cookie!!! :HandsClapping:HandsClapping:HandsClapping:HandsCl apping

Thanks everyone for your encouragement meant a lot. Hotel about to take a nap then go back down the river front and watch others come in. Next year boat number will be 7759

Outstanding.

Congrats

The first 170 were physical. The second 170 miles were all mental.
