Announcement
Under a beautiful sky and perfect conditions the race was started right on time. Tide was going out strong and the first leg up to the 664 flyover bridges by the Hampton Colesium was like paddling through honey and I for one felt a little hot and sticky. Leza spotted a deer along the river which I saw scamper away when I looked to the right - right side. After the turn around boat speeds and the wind picked up to cool us down slightly and before you know it the race was done and all participants recieved a major award and a cold beverage. The hotly contest race results were as follows:
Rusty & Leza McLain 57:11
Charlie Barton 59:01
Tim Jones 59:03 (only 2 seconds difference)
Jim Farrington 1:00:05
Freda Rosso 1:06:56
