3rd Annual Dog Paddle
Saturday, July 24, 2004 brint.adams@us.army.mil
A small, but enthusiastic crowd came out to participate in the 3rd Annual Dog Paddle at the mouth of the Dog River. The first event was the Men's One Mile which consisted of two laps around the buoys on the Dog River, starting and finishing at the Beachcomber Marina. The award winners were as follows:
Brint Adams 10:24
Jason Farrell 11:27
Carwyn Redell 11:30
The Women's One Mile race was next with the following results:
Margaret Strack 13:55
Sytshe Kimball 14:37
Janie Chess 16:14
Following three 0.5 mile races for Juniors, Parent-Child and Novice divisions, the final Open 2 mile event started at 11:30, with the following results:
Brint Adams 21:20
Jason Farrell 23:53
Kelly Rakon 24:29
In addition to my personal successes noted above, I was coerced to enter the Parent/Child event with an energetic 9-year-old girl named Chrisha. We used one of the kayaks that Bob Andrews graciously furnished for those who did not have one to bring. She was very excited to finish first, get the first place award and talk to the Channel 5 Newsman on camera.
It was alot of fun and benefits a worthy cause to help the Dog River Clearwater Rivival with their advocacy of cleaning up the beautiful Dog River. As long as I am able, I am looking forward to participating in next year's event.
