<br />
Weather was certainly interesting this year, we had some strong winds that forced all paddlers to dig deep. Thankfully, there was a little bit of downwind on the homestretch.<br />
<br />
Jason Bennett defended his 2015 title with another win this year finishing in a time of 1:39:06.<br />
<br />
Shannon Bell was the fastest female paddler this year completing the 14km course in a time of 1:51:58<br />
<br />
Paul Torriero and Sally Wallick were the fastest around the short course.<br />

We have done our best to distribute the prizing to a few different categories and keep prizing equal between Men and Women's divisions. We are also excited to announce cash prizing for the Short Course and for Junior Paddlers.<br />

You may also want to make a Webscorer account for yourself as a personal racer. I know you will begin seeing this timing system at more races. It is way cheaper than using timing chips and can be run with just 1 or 2 people. If you are a race organizer or a regular racer check out the site for more information!Mike Darbyshirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04165670054786205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879765826020872275.post-31562559267452288852012-09-13T11:34:00.000-07:002012-09-13T11:35:58.985-07:00Even MORE Sponsors!Some more sponsors have joined and contributed to prizing and the event!
