Whitehall Reservoir, paddling stern in Stealth Boat with Sam Levitin in the bow. Demonstrated my ineptness as a stern paddler, as I couldn't keep the boat going in a straight line, and resorted to rudder techniques far too often. Sent Sam off on the first two running sections, took the third section (around the south end of the lake) myself, and let him climb over one island in an attempt to save a little more time. We were right on the edge of the 2-hr time limit for doing the remainder of the Long course when we finished the Advanced, but since we had started late, it was appropriate to call it a day at that point. Third place on Advanced, behind Darrell Scott and Jon Campbell (both in kayaks).
