18 grueling miles of paddling, an 11 hour road trip later and I'm finally back home in Bigfork.
Ski to Sea in Bellingham was one of the most fun events I've ever competed in. The thousands of competitiors and spectators really hyped up the energy and made things exciting.
Out of 380 teams, our team came in 47th - that's in the top 12 percentile! Not bad. The other two competing teams from the Flathead did even better with the open men's team placing 13th over-all, and the women placing and amazing 3rd place in their division.
Seeing the enormity of the race and how it was organized has generated a lot of ideas of what we can do to spice up the Flathead Monster Canoe and Kayak Challenge. Check back to the website often, as a lot of these details will be worked out in the next couple of weeks!
