C-Forum

I hated that I had to miss the race and Esprit/Lost Tribe run. How many canoes entered the race and who won?

I don't know but would be suprised if Phil didn't win. He was both smoother and faster from the ramp to out of sight than any other boat.

I think Phil won the Canoe Division. More info is posted in the Race thread. I'm guessing there were probably 10-15 c-boaters.

1st Place, Phil foti. 36 minutes. boat: 15 foot unknown.
2nd place, Art Fowler, ?? minutes boat: Dagger Ocoee
2nd to last, Alex Vargas 46 minutes. boat Mokawk Vipper 11

There were 7 openboats racing. From middle put-in to h3ll hole. It was great. On the second lap I caught up with the rest of the canoe armada, and had an even greater time doing a leisure run, and enjoying eddys


Oh, there was an after party with great beer variety. I lingered around a good fire, with good friends, till all three kegs where afloat

Oh, there were some 60 kayakers racing as well but I didn't keep up with their results.

Alex, are the results posted anywhere? I suspect I was last.
Bill

I have not seen the results, either, but Lisa L. told me I came in in 4th. Have no idea about the time. She says that the results will be posted "directly." I assume on the TVCC web site.

way to go Sally...

That would be a third place (out of six), without my boat. Hopefully next year we can get enough folks to enter long-boat's, so that we can split-it up into classes. Believe there are a few not being used?

BTW - I'd like offer thanks to Chad Lewis for running C1 in the K1 class.... think he had a 34:something.

Phil, Thanks for posting the results. Last place for me was better than not being there.
Bill

That was Marlo who posted times.... Thanks BTW.

Bill...The best part - is no body who saw you - knows how you did. They just watched, as we 'ALL' went by.

Congrats Phil... 15ft of greased lightning... smart move!

So... what was the ruling on "pumps"?

The ruling on pumps. Everyone had pumps, except for phil.
But even with a pump, you gotta stop and dump sometimes.

• 1. waxed
  2. Well the pump question, is the reason for a15footer.

Alex,
I'll blame my finish on no pump. Somewhere in there it occurred to me "a pump would help". It was fun and I had planned to run a second half lap but decided against when I considered there was a keg at the campground.
