I've learned that the men in the two fastest coed canoes at the 40K Big East River X last weekend were 73 and 74 years old. Their female paddling partners were just barely in their 60s. Wow. The fastest coed canoe was also the fastest canoe overall.

This article refers to the older man, Bob Vincent, as the "godfather of marathon paddling". Bob mentions there was an Olympic silver medalist in the race but I'm not sure who that was. The kayaker who placed 2nd has at least one world championship silver medal. No wonder everyone looked so talented!
