==== Yukon Quest...... ==== **Larry Goolsby** \\ 07/02/05 #401 Brandon and Heather crossed the finish line in 4th place overall and first in the mixed tandem category. They finished at 7:51 PM Friday evening and were 2.5 hours behind the first place boat. The fifth place kayak finished at the same time as the Nelsons so I must assume that he was drafting them. The prize money for their finish should be about $1200 Canadian. Not quite enough for Heather's new V-10. **Jeff Hegedus ** \\ 07/02/05 #402 Yeah man, right on. It wrung me out following their progress, imagining the heights of suffering and achievement and self-knowledge they attained and how short life is to obtain these awarenesses. HEATHER AND BRANDON, AWESOME, YOU BRING TEARS TO MY EYES. You rule! **Yukon River Quest\\ Jeff Hegedus ** \\ 07/13/05 #422 Congratulations to Heather and Brandon for demolishing the mixed tandem record! They shaved over 5 hours from the previous best time. Stay tuned, LeAnne and I will be trying to talk them into a potluck at our house to share their adventure..
