This weekend Jason and I attended the 2nd Annual Deception Pass Dash race sponsored by Seattle Raft & Kayak . Jason to race, and myself in support and to Film. Judging from the look on Jason’s face as he pulled up to the beach I think I pulled the preferred duty!

Nevertheless, it was a great event, with a great deal of talent from the local area. The attendance more then double from last year, which says a great deal about the venue and reflects well on Tim Leary. The weather was a bit unsettle with snow flurries, moderate winds etc. but luckily the huge weather front that is currently pounding the NW held off until after the event.

I’ll let Jason comment on the actual race, but filming presented some challenges in the snow, sleet, rain and wind. However, as I watched those who missed the slack struggle to reach Strawberry Island against the ebb tide, I realized I had the cushy job.

The real joy of an event like this is the camaraderie, and just participating should bring a huge sense of accomplishment, but for who are curious the race results are here.

Jason is insisting that we switch roles next year, yikes!
