==== yrq ==== **Edoh Amiran** \\ 06/29/12 #12830 All, Veronica and here voyageur team of 6 women finished the Yukon River Quest about two hours ago. They looked great coming across the finish line and had a steady run. They are third over-all (behind two well trained men's voyageur teams), and more than 7 hours ahead of the former women's voyageur record. It took 6 women to improve on Heather Nelson's women's record for the course. They shaved a bit over 3 hours from the women's record for the course. The lake was calm with light waves from the S-SW. There was rain, but the team avoided it. My guess is that the Teslin was running fast, the Pelly average, and the Stewart a bit high. There were headwinds near the finish at Dawson. I'm pretty proud of Veronica for taking this race on and working with a crew of friends in a boat that she did not know well. I'm even happier that they finished and had a consistent performance. Veronica obviously worked very hard and is now resting. Edoh **debbie natelson** \\ 06/29/12 #12831 Way to go Veronica & crew. Pretty exciting news. Kudos.
