A good surprise

Obviously the race is over by this time, but recovery has been a little slow and I'm personally still only handling one task at a time, so competing blog posts had to wait. Catching up now...
Monday was very hot and also mostly a repeat of the River Marathon route so boredom and malaise were possible.
However, there was a good surprise waiting at the Nursery bridge when Skip showed up to be head cheerleader and Captain's advisor!

The flood replaced knee deep mud with nice sand so it was one of the most scenic stops.

"Love ya boy. That's close enough, hug not necessary"

Victoria City Park was next stop. Yeti crew met us there for more updates and interviews, a welcome distraction before the third night on the river.
Geared up for the tough night run through twists and turns plus jams.
Only 60 miles to go...
