Crazy 8's

3/19/2015

Another fantastic race in the books.  The Comox Valley fielded 5 teams in total counting mixed and only finished second to the young guns from Victoria (Fairway Gorge) in overall time but winning every division entered.   We borrowed a trailer from Nanaimo and took our two Mirages down to the Hub City in order to compete with some of the best the Island has to offer.  Some of our newest paddlers got a chance to race with some of our veterans giving them a really positive 1st outrigger racing experience.  I wish that I had taken a photo of the huge smiles as the women's crews were coming back to the dock.  The conditions had some surprises as the day wore on.  In the mixed event it seemed that the wind was blowing directly in our face for all 8 directions.  In the last 100 meters as we were coming into the finish line I remember thinking,,, we must be going the wrong way,,, the wind isn't in our face.  
Here are the results:
