Competition Heats Up

As is typical with local races, we're starting to get the registration rush for The Longest Day now that it's about a month away. Two quick items on that:

We do have a limited set of boats available so I would suggest not delaying too long if you are on the fence. That's the price for getting to paddle quality sea kayaks instead of tapping the nearly inexhaustible supply of flat bottomed/warped canoes. This race filled last year and we even went a little beyond when a couple late registrants brought their own (similar) watercraft. If you own a surf-ski and know how to use it don't think for a minute you're going to sneak it in by waiting for the race to fill. Brutally hard but fair competition is what I'm about. Everybody has to swim through the magma pool. ;)

We're getting a good spectrum of competitors. Youngsters with .edu e-mail extension representing the college crowd, Old friends, New faces from far away places and mixed throughout those categories some of the best navigators and racers in the US.

I'll be performing some more fieldwork soon. One question I may ask before the race:

Do you want me to be nice and give full disclosure on some things or would you prefer I stayed mum and let you figure things out for yourself in the field? (No there is not unexploded ordinance in the woods.) Make a comment below if you already have an opinion.
