Hi Todd and Bob.  Great news...we won gold in REC A
Division.  We were behind, but caught up at the
halfway mark and surged ahead of CCSF near the end.

1. Concord Pacific Flyer Dragons - 2:24:28
2. CCSF 1 (City College of San Fran) - 2:24:57
3. Castaways (Portland) - 2:25:10

4. Vancity Thunder - 2:28:05
5. Extreme Currents (Kamloops) - 2:28:24
6  Killer Guppies Blue (LA) - 2:36:02 (I think.
Couldn't quite read my writing on a serviette.)

Didn't do so well in the Men's, Women's and Visiting
Team Cup race -- in tough against Roli and Subaru.
