Great Race, results and gloating

The full results are now up (although currently they’re on the front page of the Great Race site listed as “Results of Great Race 2008” and some places they have it as Roman Numeral XXX instead of XXXII.

In the list of teams that won awards, our team is listed as being 4th in M40+ in the Traditional Race, Kayak division. Before you say “yeah, out of four”, go check out the full results and see that we were 4th out of 16 in our division, and a pretty respectable 10th out of 49 in the kayak division. Even more gloat worthy is that my individual performance amongst all the “longshort course” paddlers was 14th best, 6th best kayak, and 1:25 behind my coach, Dan, only 2 seconds behind team mate Stephen B and 1:32 ahead of Paul D. Wow, I can’t believe I beat Paul D, especially since my first reaction after the race was “Man, I had trouble surfing out there” and his was “It was great surfing weather”.
