How did the ocoee downriver race go?

Post by Dooleyoc-1 »

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

6 or 7 Canoes

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
:D

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 :D

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

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 :roll: 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. :wink:

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.

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

PUMPS

Post by Bill M »

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.
