Happy 50th B-Day to the


WHITE ROCK BOAT CLUB 

And …..in keeping with last years tradition…..

The IRON BUTT II was the 4th of July weekend…

The brain child of this man….

IMAG0358

Yes this is how his brain works, and thankfully

for the club…

it works for us!!!  

                                                             

As you may remember the IB II is a test not only of the

physical extreme, but the mental extreme as well…..

you as a competitor must complete in three water based events, that include….

sailing a two man sailboat,

then…..

sailing a solo sailboat…

and as the final water based event…..

You must kayak a short 3 miles course!!!!!

IMAG0349

 

A colorful fleet was assembled and the competitors were

briefed and the race was started promptly at 5:26pm-cdst.

A quick note.. were not aware of any other 3 water event tri that uses all human or wind powered craft, and would love to know if you have every heard of any “tri” style races like this ???

IMAG0354

The kayaking is the final leg of the event…

and as expected

some of the sailors were fast…

very fast in the sail boats……

IMAG0357

This was the KAYAKING leg start buoy,

and the course (3 miler) might have ……….

paddled a little short this race, but I can assure you the 105

degree temperature had nothing to do with….

how ling the course was set up, but……………

just in case your wondering the temperature inside the

_ _ _ _ cooler, where we keep the drinks cold was closer

to 55 degrees!  Ah…. the joys of ice!

 

Any way….  the racers screamed on and hit the water as

hard as you can with a paddle and to the finishers and 

all of the competitors

 

YOU did a great job of ….

Racing

Having Fun

Hanging Out

Sharing food and drinks with friends

Listening to the band &

Watching fireworks at the lake….
