Deception Pass Dash

Interesting. The weather was clear and calm. So many boats and schwag and stuff. The event seemed to run really smooth. Results were up right away. I think Jeff & Teresa K took first. Gabe and Brandon must have had quite the duel. I think it was Gabe by 10 seconds. Paul and LB challenged each other while working off two OC-2's that were dukin it out. (Pete & Mike vs. Bob Day and somebody.) I was part of that pack until about 1/2 way through the race. MG and Vanessa took the line to the south of the channel and I thought they were toast, but they powered up coming back across the channel and blew past me at the turn. I knew Traci and Heather were not far back. When I started getting slower at the half-way point I could feel the girl-power sights on my back. At the sprint from the last turn to the finish MG and I were doing a mad-dog macho throw-down. But Vanessa spoiled it by cranking it up and slamming the double across the finish first. Next was Heather, then Traci (sure enough they had been reeling me in for that last part of the race).
There was a ton of double ski's out there. Morris and Debbie finished in the early pack. Team 205 was up there somewhere. There was a bunch of yelling a screaming at the finish for a long time as touring boats, SUPs, peddle-boats, and even a couple of unlimited paddleboards came off the course. Diversity rules.
Food was superb. Great to have instant gratification results up. The DPD race crew has got this race dialed in really tight.

Great race…. again. Two great weather years in a row. We are due for another epic DPD I'd say. How did they do awards this year? I either missed them or they didn't happen….
Hats off to the organizers… one of the best run races I've been to.
