Catalina Classic, 2015

Brutal.  Still putting it all together and sorting through the pictures, video, and updates from the paddlers; but, from my front row seat it was ugly.  Of the race, one paddler wrote that 90% of his mind was telling the other 10% to stop, and that his body simply refused to respond to input.  I witnessed heartbreaking withdrawals and some inspired paddling in tough conditions–congratulations to everyone that finished the race.  More to come soon…

Thurmond, Caldwell, Urkov

This…pretty much the entire race.
