Excellent feedback from Zeke & from Steve. I lean toward Steve's view, the racing is a hobby for most and ranks after family, work, ... I could never do all of the SR races. I've done some time on

American Lake: Use an extra buoy to convert the sharp Turn 1 to two dull turns. Would also be nice to lengthen the course and have 2 3- mile laps instead of 3 2-mile laps. Easier on the timers,

Hi Steve, Remember the race brainchild that I circulated to several of you in September? You didn�t respond, but it became very clear to me from those who did (Laura J., David H, &

Laura, I'm there. Anything that you may want, from food to set-up to clean-up. I'd like to do the race though. and would appreciate it if you'd remind me a little before race day. Steve ===

Hi Everyone - As you know, my parents (Vern and Jerry) and their friends have put on the post-race soup-and-bread-fest for the past 10 or 11 years. Over that time frame, many of their friends have

Has anyone messed with race timing software at an SR race? (Er, besides the San Juan Challenge.) I know there are some high end packages out there for major relays & multi-segment races. However,

Just want to say thanks to Mickey Bevins and the deputy organizers for today's racing. Great people, great scenery, and (mostly) great water. The post-race treats and t-shirts were a nice

Friends on the water, It was great to see you at Budd Inlet and row/paddle in Puget Sound. I will not be able to make it north to Lake Samish this Saturday. I will be attending two soccer games
