Day 1 of the Rat Race included a twin engine plane slaloming through the gaggle, a whole lot of people in goal and an unfortunate reserve toss with serious injuries in a remote area. The high pressure and north wind delayed the task and put everyone on a fish bowl task.
Day 2 had similar weather, but less north. The Sprinters stayed in the valley with Kauai Joe coming in 6th, with most of the guys on goal.
None of the Hawaii Racers made goal, including Igor, but not for lack of trying. A pretty tough course from Grant Pass to Donatos house, with mid airs and tree landings, but not our guys.
Blue sky's, hot days and high pressure are what we are looking at for the week. More to come.....
