Tuesday Night Paddle Sport Races - Current Results

June 23, 2009 Results

Tonight was the first multisport race of the season. This year we have taken the untraditional step of posting the multi-sport events on the web-site. In the past we always surprised you with multi-sport events making it more of an adventure. Still about 90 people showed up last night. Some unsuspecting. We rushed to set the course. Some people might say our running course have a reputation of being poorly marked. So we made an extra effort to make sure nobody go lost.

The key to making this race good is having an even match between the run leg and the paddle leg. If the paddle leg is shorter then the race will be dominated by the fast runners. I wanted to make it a paddle race. As we arrived at Strathcona Park Terry Lewis and another guy were ripping into the park. Terry's partner Ty Gee was seconds behind me and it was almost a perfect exchange. Obviously not everybody's swap was timed perfectly but I thought the length of the run and paddle were pretty close.

I hope you enjoyed the race, we will be offering a few more events like this, check the calendar. The Great Kayak Swap is another excellent team event with the run taking place from Jug Island Beach and Belcarra Park. If you have never done this run before it is very scenic. There is also a brisk swim from JI Beach to Jug Island.

The Maple Beach Run is not to be missed either. This goes from Belcarra out to Admiralty Point where you swim back 300m to Maple Beach and then run back to Belcarra. Its always a favorite.

We have just received some great O'Neil paddling wear. Rash guards, light weight and stretchy neoprene tops, Neoprene shorts. These aren't just your blah MEC black neoprene. O'neil has some nice colour designs with this super soft and stretchy neoprene. Really nice.

This Saturday at Ambleside there will be a big ebb current and maybe some great waves. Lotus Outrigger Club will be hosting a race this weekend. Check out http://surfskibc.wordpress.com for details
