7:07 p.m.: So far there have 162 boats to check in and 72 boats that did not finish and two that did not start. Women tandem Marissa Weber, 12, and Hannah Grow, 14, finished third over all in the women’s tandem division and under eighty hours. They are the youngest competitors to ever race and competed to raise money for breast cancer. Racers will be coming in until midnight.
Competitors enjoyed a larger than normal greeting from spectators today according to Jodie Pfefferkorn. She said it shows how large and popular the race has gotten. There was also a free barbecue steak dinner for all the racers to enjoy and an awards ceremony where racers can get money, a rowing machine, or other prizes.
