Race Reports:
Thanks to everyone who came out and stayed up all night with us for the Luminescent AR this year. It wasn't easy. But from what we hear, it was a lot of fun for the teams regardless of how difficult their journey was.
Race designers
Ron Eaglin and
Erik Wise provided a challenging course highlighted by a paddle in and around the maze known as
Mosquito Lagoon. This location would have been hard for the racers even with the benefit of sunlight. Tackling it at night, with flying mullet to contend with, is something different all together.
Congratulations to everyone who made it out on boat but especially to the teams that cleared it:
For the race itself, we would really like to congratulate
GET TO THE CHOPPER! for finally standing atop the podium in the Elite division. They've been racing consistently well since starting a little over a year ago and this win was definitely well deserved. It was also as close as it comes. Without the benefit of recorded seconds, we initially had them in a tie with
AR Militia. When asked flat out who got to the table first, the Militia said
"I think they only beat us by about 5-10 seconds but they still beat us. I think they had gas powered bikes."
Thanks again to everyone. It is always a pleasure to meet up and have fun with you guys. We also like to extend a special thank you
TravelCountry &
Marmot for supporting and providing prizes for the Winners. Also thank you to
Columbia Sportswear for handing out ice-cream and showing off a preview of their new
Omni-Freeze Zero shirts. Follow their ice-cream truck on tour at their
