I was surprised to see how much carnage there was on the canoe section. It looks like they were paddling some class II+ rapids in canoes meant for lazy lake paddling (not much rocker, low gunwales) and going right down the meat of the rapids. Lots of canoes and kayaks dumped.
This is a good reminder that race directors often ensure everyone has wet feet at the beginning of the race to level the playing field. Keeping dry feet is of course desirable but not very realistic. It is a good idea to introduce our dogs to wet walking/hiking long before April.
