Does anyone know why there were 400 spots in the 2011 roster and there are only 340 this year. I was hoping to to be able to get in this late since i was waiting to find out if i had a job until this past Friday.  Now that i know i kept my job and Vacation time i'm too late. All well i guess there's always next year!

So I was looking at the roster and thought I saw a typo.  I saw a Tim and Libby Griffin.  At a closer look, I realized that there is actually a Tim and Libby Griffin on the roster.  So Ibby and I will have to try to meet up with these people.  Could cause a lot of fun confusion.  Looking forward to the race.

Done.  0440 recorded.

Registration is closed email Scott and he can put you on the standby list.

I will not be in the 340 this year as a paddler....rats

Simply do not believe my shoulder reconstruction will support an extreme ultra this year (my physical therapist said it could be one full year to be back in the game) ....if I tear out my repair...there is no second chance.....I am 47 and feeling my mortality

I Want to paddle for the rest of my time on this rock....more than do one particular crazy 340 mile race this year...and just know I would not be able to dial it back and would go into hammer mode down the river no matter what ....push through the pain till my shoulder went PoP


Will still do lots of other short little bitty 50 mile races....as those are just a warm up events (we are so completely twisted here in Missouri.....USCA considers 10 miles a marathon distance )....we are sick dude...and I love it

I will however volunteer again to be in the lead safety boat again with Russ...and will this time go all the way to finish.....so expect to see me.....and I will be sure to shake your hand real hard at end of race and slap you on the back ....ok perhaps a gentle knuckle bump and wink will be better.........I know your pain....will likely get as little sleep....but at least my ass will not be taking to me in evil neurological morse code

Ive got a good friend...who has run support along with Alma and kids on all my 340's....he would like to do the safety boat too....we can't come aboard due to work conflict until Glasgow...but will stay on board till finish and I can pilot thru the night to give Russ a break.......so ask Russ if 4 river rats is too many for the lonestar.......look forward to it

Ok....that's the plan.....

Hola Scott!

Could you please change the Team Name of Team Meet Bats to Paddle4Peace  boat # 9283?

Thanks!!

You will NOT regret a ground crew.  And he will have a great time.  I'll take care of it now.

Scott

Scott-
I need to revise my ground crew listing.  Ground crew for boat #3664 will be Lynne Beatty instead of Donna Porter.  (FYI-I will also have a SPOT Tracker).  Thanks.
