 Hi Josh\\
-It looking like USA has thrown in the towel, waving the white flag.  I checked the reservations this morning.  We have 100 paddlers register. Looks like USA’s hope are resting on the broad shoulders of Jonas E, and Reivers.  Your brightest and best looking!  Better start mobilizing!

+It was a great day of flatwater racing and the event went off without a hitch....at least I haven't heard of any hitches.  The weather was spectacular and the event was well attended with 125 competitors.  A big Thanks to all our Washington friends who made the trip to Deep Cove.  I hope you had a great day.
+The start was furious and with sprinters from all sides off the pack charging to the front.  There were several strong double teams, Brandon/Emma, Steve/Dary, Seth/Finn.  With singles, Jonas E, Greg R, Jamie K. and Egor(?)   I don't know this last person but earlier I had stated, "With a name like Egor, he's gotta be fast"  He was!!  So its only taken a year of Herr-Cryder not paddling and a really good spring for me, that I could stay the Nicholas.  Wes Hammer had spilled his race strategy to me prior to the race start.  "Go out hard, then fade due to my lack of fitness, then fall back to the next group".  I managed to catch Shane and sure-to-plan eventually Wes worked his way back to us.   But once that happened Wes got bored and started messing with Shane.  At the 1/2 way mark they shook me off.
+I have a problem where, once somebody behind me and  out of my peripheral vision, I believe I have crushed them andI figure they are done and gone and this rarely proves to be the case.  Little did I know, lurking behind me was Warren, The Mexican, Bruce, Sally, The crusher of male ego, Wallick.  Josh, my arch-rival, Dyck and Daryl, The Hammer" Remmler and Kelsey, Monkey Arms, McEwen.  As we hit the 1/2 mark.  Monkey Arms and My Arch Rival showed their cards and we changed lead several times.  We crossed the tombolo between Hamber Island and the mainland with less than a foot of water and as we rounded 1/4 mark at Boulder Island Monkey Arms popped and was gone.  I figured I'd make my move and chase some small waves while crossing the channel to Gray Rocks I.  This was a repeat of my 2018 failed attempt to drop the train (slow learner), where Dean Jordaan and Monkey Arms plus many other blew by me at the finish.  After catching a few small waves and reaching Gray Rock I did a shoulder check to see the train firmly attached to my stern.  #$5@!!  With 2 km to go, My Arch Rival Dyck pull up along side and we paced each other until a voice behind us yelled out, "Josh, you are surrounded by Canadians!!!"  Well this must of thrown a few shovels of coal onto Dyck's fire.  I'm sure I heard him grunt, "AMERICA!!"  He started his march to the finish with a savage attack.  The Crusher of Male Ego, hung with him for a bit, but was no match to Dyck's national pride.  As we approached the line I could hear The Mexican attacking.  I managed to hold off The Bruce and he was followed by Remmler who's utterance it was that spurred on Josh Dyck.  Thanks Daryl!!.
+USA's numbers were a bit light, but they had a quality team with Brandon/Emma putting in the fastest time and place 3 solo paddlers in the top 7, Klein, Ecker and Egor.  Board The Fjord Race Results
+Thanks to John, The keeper of the secret rules, Rybzyck, for compiling results in a timely manner.
+As many of you may know the Think International Challenge Trophy has gone missing.  Greg Redman of PaddleLab and the Kelowna Paddling Centre has offered to pay for a new trophy.  In consultation with Daryl Remmler of Think Kayak, going forward we have agreed to call this unique event The PaddleLab International Surfski Challenge.
+If you don't know PaddleLab.ca is a periodized training program for paddlers.  It an easy to follow on-water training program for part-time weekend warrior athletes.  Summer on-water session and winter weight room training.  For a mere $15/mth Canadian$$ you can get access to a year round training program designed so you will peak for Canadian Downwind Champs and The Gorge.  All profits go to local surfski races and clubs and last year PaddleLab gave $4000 to various clubs including a generous donation to The Salmon Roe.

+Bob, great recap!  After Daryl said “you are surrounded by Canadians” he said, “your country rests on your shoulders.”  Well, that was the coal which helped me to kick it up a few notches.
+Thanks to everyone for a great race!
