Team Featherbed Wins!
At 20.36 yesterday evening Team Featherbed Painted Wolf – Jeannie Bomford 37, Darren Berry 35, John Collins 42 and Mark Collins 47, were the first team in as they beached their kayaks after 3 days 12 hours and 36 mins on the challenging course.
One of 54 teams from all over the world, the team led the 544km race …from early on Day 1 and maintained a healthy distance between them and probable second place takers Team Merrell Adventure, who look set to be in during the course of tonight.
The Featherbedders were welcomed across the finish line by a festive crowd of family, race organisers and supporters.
“We slept for three hours in total over the three and a half days,” said Mark Collins at an informal press conference whilst he and his team mates enjoyed a cold beer and pizza, “Once for two hours, once for about half an hour and then a few 5 minute breaks.”
Congrats to our local lads!!!!
