After Saturday's race, the winner of each age group in each boat class was awarded a one-quart growler of beer from a local brewery. The runner-up got a pint glass, and the third-place finisher got a shot glass. The unspoken assumption was that the winner would share his beer with his fellow medalists.
I was second in the 18-49 age group of the kayak race boat class, so I got the pint glass. But the winner didn't seem inclined to share. Fortunately I found a more generous spirit in the person of overall female winner Lindsey O'Shea. And the beer she'd been given wasn't too hoppy, so everything turned out great indeed.
