Our local lord of the river glowing after a solid outing on the Susquehanna. He and other WCC members dominated as expected. Here's the proof results.
The men's relay team did well, finishing just behind "smokin' joe's bbq". They kept it close most of the race, a few errors in course selection and transitions between relay groups probably cost them a repeat of last year's victory.
our mixed relay teams finished in first and third. Things were close, with the (eventual) second place team opening up a substantial lead in the 2nd leg, but our teams paddled hard and Andrew Stephens and Emily Harris squeaked into first by an incredibly narrow margin.
Dan Havens was the hero of the day.

Rich Libby won the unlimited Kayak division, even after trailing the leader by up to 4 minutes.
Adrian and his dolphin nose boat led the race in the deep lake start, but got into trouble in the upper swamp section, where he capsized four times. At some point the nose section of the boat began to leak water at the seams, allowing his competitors to sneak away from him as he bailed water.
Andrew and Radley managed an unofficial 11th place, only swam twice. No photos are yet available, but radley's dad has some video we want to get posted on youtube.
The sprint team mimicked a race scenario in which John and David P were unexpectedly placed in a K-2 with little to no forewarning. Luckily, they are both butchers (latest term for bad ass paddlers) and were able to find some semblance of power-synchrony.
