3:41 p.m.: Team Coffee Dog finished the race yesterday evening around 9:55 p.m. They finished the race in 60 hours and two minutes, but instead of celebrating their accomplishments they drove around to 15 different pawn shops and thrift stores looking for a used bike. However, they found a Craigs Lift ad for two free bikes that they will be receiving later tonight and start their trip back to Kansas City. Uncle A Dog said the boat held up great, and luckily they won’t have to saw it in half like originally planned. The Lewis and Clark Boathouse and Nature Center in St. Charles said they would take the boat and put it on display.
Uncle A Dog said that he doesn’t know how they can top this next year, but he did have a few ideas. Possibly laying on a surf board and paddling down the river or the ultimate challenge of swimming the race. However, on a more realistic note Uncle A Dog said that they might paddle backward or paddle back upstream after they finish the race. Whatever they do, it will be something unique, challenging, and will go down in infamy in the races history.
