2001 was the 20th year for the Outdoors, Inc., Canoe and Kayak Race, and a spirited competition it was. Mike Herbert pulled away from Greg Barton for the win; by the time this photo was taken, they were "in the clubhouse," as it were. The picture shows the next wave of racers approaching the finish line in the harbor. That's me in the foreground, en route to my third-place finish. Over my right shoulder is Peter Braul of Kincardine, Ontario, who took fourth. The thirteen years that have passed since this race have dimmed my memory of who the other paddlers are, but I believe they include Wim Nouwen and Joe Royer of Memphis and Maks Zupan of Paisley, Ontario.
