I think I counted 20 Mainers in the results from last weekend's General Clinton Canoe Regatta in New York.
Big Al placed third in Sunday's Grand Prix Aluminum Relay (Laurie, Justin, Bronwen, Steve, Ander, Jeff, Kate, Bob, Lori, and Clayton). A team from D.C. and a local team schooled us, but also fired us up for next year!
In Monday's 70-mile marathon, Maine's top finish was a first place in the Stock Aluminum class by Justin and Clayton (10:20). First timer Dan's kayak experienced a blow out some 40 miles in and he had to withdraw with plans to return next year. Another first timer, MaCKRO VP Laurie finished in 10:02 with partner Mike. All others finished in various stages of exhaustion and fatigue. With temps in the 90s and very low water, it was an epic day.
Congrats to everyone who made the trip, and extra thanks to all our pit crews!!
