Discussion: I present my BP report

for your reading pleasure.

A pleasurable read, as always!

Am I reading this right: you had to carry PFDs and paddles for ~9 hours before using them? If you didn't bring your own paddling gear, did you have to carry theirs, or could you pick it up when you got to the paddle?

The GMARA rule is that all racers must carry PFDs for the entire race, regardless of discipline. Any team wishing to use personal paddles (or any other paddle gear, such as a middle seat) must also carry that with them for the entire race. In this years edition they should an uncommon level of benevolence, allowing us to drop all paddling gear for treks that began and ended at the same TA.

Yay Glen! Such a fun race. I really can’t wait for Wisco with you and Cliff <3

Wow, well done!

A slight misstatement re: the kayak paddle blades. I intentionlly left them in the car so you wouldn't have to deal with a kayak paddle, given your grevious slip'n'slide injury. It was only due to my magnanimous foresight that you were able to make it through the paddle section alive and relatively unharmed.

Actually lol'd at that. I appreciate your omniscience.
