| 摘要： | The Great Mississippi River Canoe Race, with two teams vying to set a new speed record for canoeing the mighty river, came to an unexpected end in the overnight hours May 20 when team Mississippi Speed Records boat sank near Reserve, La., with less than 140 miles to go. Team Mississippi Speed Record (MSR), comprised of Scott Miller, Joel Ford, Perry Whitaker and Adam Macht, was the second team to paddle down the river, following MMZero's record-breaking trip earlier in May. MMZero, made up of father-daughter duo KJ Millhone and Casey Millhone, Bobby Johnson and Rod Price, finished their 2,300-mile journey down the river on May 10. They set a new world record, canoeing the length of the Mississippi River in just 17 days and 20 hours, besting the previous record of 18 days, 4 hours and 51 minutes. But for the next 10 days, it seemed MMZero's record would be short-lived, with Team MSR spending much of its journey down the river well ahead of MMZero's pace. Team MSR was a couple hours ahead of MMZero's pace with just 140 miles to go. |
