Please note that even though the turnout was low on the Women's Pro Aluminum Class, Ginger and Ginsee turned in a top time (4 hrs 23 min 45 sec)
Erin Magee topped off the day with the overall best time of 3 hrs 31 min 31 sec.
Even though Richard Steppe and Jerry Brown led the Men's Pro Aluminum with a 3 hr 41 min 48 sec time, there was a lot of talk among the men that Erin may have splashed water out of the river when she went by causing the others to have more pull overs.
One of the guys in the unlimited solo said he was pleased with his mediocre time, and suggested we have a special award for "Mediocre", so don't be surprised if this comes up in the near future.
The water was good - temperature hot - watermelon cold, and Ginger was happy with her "Duck" shirt.
Thanks to everyone for a "Great Race".
