Seems like most had a good race. Karel Tresnak Jr. won for the 4th time beating out last years champion, Kai Bartlett by just over a minute. Mike Judd finished smoothly in 3rd.
In the women's the adrenaline was flowing for Lauren Spalding. "I've never seen her paddle so fast" says paddler Luke Evslin. Lauren managed to finish 19th overall & more than 30 minutes ahead of her competition. Dane Ward finished 2nd with Noe Sawyer right behind in 3rd. Australian Lisa Curry Kenny dropped out after some trouble with her boat.
