Yeah Neal,  I thought about texting him to.  But I think they are having to use their phones for checking in.

Fubar just checked in at the Jefferson City check point.  Its right under the bridge,  you can see the capital accross the river from the landing.  Way to go buddy!
They are currently 77th and 20th in their devision.

I also checked the front runner spot.  They have one finished in 37hours and 9min. 
Mens tandem,  "horse with no name" looks to be the winner.

Thanks for the update and the link to FUBAR's check in Patrick, much appreciated.

Go Dave, Go FUBAR.

[lebhuntfish]

No problem guys!
I'm enjoying keeping track of the race.  Dave was back out at 530 this morning. 

There was several finishers over night.

That's a grueling tough race to participate in I'd say.Kuddos to the Fubar team.

I'd say so Ed, a bit more demanding than 14 canoes floating 55 miles downstream in two days with a half barrel of barley pop for refreshments.
Go fubar. Might have to put a pirate flag on that vessel Captain Red Beard. Thanks for the updates Patrick

Well BJ it's what we do when we are in our prime and full of beans.Challenge ourselves.A good experience to remember for them I'm sure.

Someone snapped a pic of Dave before he left this morning... 

[lebhuntfish]

Thats funny Bob!

Ed,  your probably right about being in their prime.  But I read about a guy that last year was his forth mr340 and he was 79 years old. 

I expect fubar to be checking in before long at their next check point.  Looks like they got an early start today,  they left Jeff City at 530 this morning. 
Event staff said that the river has dropped a little and that might have slowed some of them down a bit.  Go Fubar!

Aargh!  Those are some fast paddlers!,  those front runners did better than 9 mph!!  Not a sport for folks with bad shoulders and backs.  Fun for them that can, though - I will stick "struggling" 10km "runs", although it is mostly walk and a bit of double time now.  Go Dave!

Well im a little late reporting  but Dave checked in at hermann check point at 12:09 and was back on the water at 12:19. They have one more check point to hit before the finish line in St Charles Missouri.  They are currently 104th over all.  Go Fubar!
