The race was a bit shorter than last year, but still longer than we thought. We have yet to nail down the intricacies of a GPS tracker. We'll get there. With the exception of Jen getting stung by a hornet, everything went of without a hitch. Great weather, great river conditions and great company. As far as posting the race results...sorry for the delay. I was hoping to get the results posted in place of last year's results, but that may be a while. For the time being please check out the write up we got in the Bigfork Eagle . I'll try to attach the results spreadsheet, but I'm not entirely sure how to do that... Otherwise, be patient, Todd will get the results posted on the webpage as soon as he returns to Molokai, he is here in Bigfork for the week. Much Mahalo to all of those who helped out this year to get our race running. Seth Schmautz For boat transportation and site scouting Phil Vilar For set up and timing Terri Felhaber For set up and registration Tocatta Spearman For set up and registration Faith Moldan For the great press at Bigfork Eagle Dan Grinde For getting the buoys set up and running around Bigfork picking up last minute items Silver Moon Kayak For the wonderful prizes for our first place winners! And every one of the paddlers who came out to make it an awesome day! posted by Jennifer Schwartz # 3:56 PM 1 comments Archives March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 August 2005 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 August 2006
