I added a story by Katie Pfefferkorn to the 3 years of Missouri River 340 Race series posted in my Fitness Paddling blog. Katie paddled MR340 three times solo finishing in 98, 58, and 50 hours.
There are not so many women in that ultra marathon race. Male paddlers dominate. However, I just noticed that half of 3 times finishers (Bryan Hopkins, West Hansen, Christina Glauner, Chuck and Di McHenry, Katie Pfefferkorn) are girls. They must more persistent in that madness than boys. I would spoil this perfect statistcs a little bit if I add myself.
