43 racers (of the 75 registered) showed up on Saturday to take part in a rain soaked Not-NPFF Downriver Race and Club Championship. The water level was too high to portage the dam so we raced the lower Elkhorn from AW Acres to the bridge below Canoe Kentucky. The course turned out great and it was a forearm flaming, shoulder sizzling, core crunching and bicep blasting race.
But let's get to the important part...
THE LOUISVILLE VIKINGS AVENGED LAST YEARS FLUKE DEFEAT TO THE BWA WITH A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE LAYING TO REST THE QUESTION OF WHICH CLUB IS ACTUALLY THE STRONGEST IN THE BLUGRASS.
Vikings had a very strong turnout with 17 of 22 registered boaters showing up to race. Compared to 14 of 28 registered showing up for the BWA.
Vikings also represented 11 of the top 15 and had the 2 top ladies by a long way. It was a great showing and i thank you all for showing up and responding to the call of duty.
Also many thanks to Nathan and Canoe Kentucky for providing access and a very helpful shuttle after the race. Show them some love.
As i said last year: today is a rest day but Not-NPFF race training starts tomorrow!
