This post is the counterpart to my race report posted in January. At the information session the night before the race.
This was the scene at the 5:00am start. Everyone looked like they were having a great time, and were looking forward to racing the in the rain all day with temps in the 40's.
Finally in the water....You can see my boat on the right side behind the sign. My bow light quit working just a few minutes later.
This was the long portage dock. There was a 1/4 mile portage at the end of Town Lake (2.0 miles into the race). I am sitting in the water waiting to get onto the dock.
Lifting the boat out of the water....then a quick walk to the put in location.
This was the scene at the finish line. This was much later in the day after I finished. I easily finished while it was still light outside. Some of the entrants were still racing in the rain at 8:00pm that night.
Those are all the pictures from the race directors. Sorry for no more shots of me in the race, but the weather didn't lend itself too well to taking pictures.
Don't they ever have these things in GOOD weather?
