(averaging 7.4 + for the first seven miles or so, I should know, I shamelessly drafted until Mile Eleven-ish...) and two more HPK's, one in a Epic GT Sport (yes, I said Sport....that guy was strong!)

Off to our left was DJ Jacobson & Kevin Olney drafting a 4x scull. |
| About 4 km into the race, the 4+ shell starting making a right turn, indicating they were doing the short course while the rest of us were doing the long course. That left the Nelsons and me without our “ride”. By that point, the 4x scull had pulled 60-80m ahead of us. | About 4 km into the race, the 4+ shell starting making a right turn, indicating they were doing the short course while the rest of us were doing the long course.

| - | I had just been gapped off behind Greg and Brandon's boat when that went down - I goofed up the wash ride trying to go from their right side to left anticipating that we would need / want to try to close on the other boats a few hundred feet to our left (its amazing how much better the side was is than the tail wash btw). So when Greg sprinted off of the Nelson's wash, I was just a few boat lengths back and loosing ground at 8.4mph... so it was a very impressive move and a big gamble to see him go, but definitely the critical moment of the race and Greg didn't hesitate.... and it just goes to show how much game Greg has. | + | I had just been gapped off behind Greg and Brandon's boat when that went down - I goofed up the wash ride trying to go from their right side to left anticipating that we would need / want to try to close on the other boats a few hundred feet to our left (its amazing how much better the side was is than the tail wash btw).

| At that point, I was in no-man's land without any wash to ride and started to loose ground on everyone fairly quickly even though my pace was still pretty high with the building tailwind (8.2ish). Clement / Whitlock made contact with me right as Mooney was fading a bit, and we traded pulls together until the last mile or so of the race when I got a long pull and got a small gap into the finish. As we all know, the wind built quite a bit as the day progressed and wow those last few miles hurt. | At that point, I was in no-man's land without any wash to ride and started to loose ground on everyone fairly quickly even though my pace was still pretty high with the building tailwind (8.2ish).
