LOL
We will be just in time to begin training for NEXT YEAR's race! Perhaps we can attempt to do the attainment. I don't really know what they are talking about when they say "twin rocks" though.
from the page:
The Upstream race: it makes grown men cry, sweat, puke and worry that they have to do it again next year. The rules for the race are simple: start when you hear the word "go," turn around at the double rock in the pool at the mouth of Cucumber Run, and head back to the put-in beach. First one wins. Oh yeah, no walking allowed! The race is part lactic burn and part strategy.
This event, which has been held on the Yough in one form or another for about the last twenty years, will take place on Saturday, August 29, at 6:30 PM. (Note: In contrast with past years, this is not the same day as the Falls Race.) The race is a mass start. The starting line is the gauge at the put-in; the turnaround points are the twin rocks located in the center of the pool at the bottom of Entrance Rapid, and the finish line is the starting line�the put-in gauge. Typical winning times for wildwater boats are 8 minutes; winning times for the "other boat" class are about 10 minutes. The last racer usually crosses the finish line 25-30 minutes after the race start. We will have pre-registration and registration the day of the event. Registration will be free if you also registered for the Falls event.
Eric Martin of Wilderness Voyageurs will once again be sponsoring and coordinating this event. Wilderness Voyageurs will also be providing prizes. For more information contact Eric at 800-272-4141 or eric@wilderness-voyageurs.com.
This is a very entertaining event, which will also attract a lot of spectators along the river.

Anyone feeling like they'd like a little taste of the kind of fun we have during Cheat training? This is not a LAKS offering, but a little brainstorm of my own. I'd like to to do a workout trip on the Lower Yough. This would entail paddling long boats and doing things like running harder lines on rapids that have options, attempting to attain some of the rapids in the Loop, and paddling at a good clip through the doldrums. This would be a trip for folks who are already comfortable running standard lines on the LY.
I'm thinking of doing this this coming Sunday, the 30th. Anyone interested?
Drop me a line directly: treemegan@yahoo.com or 301-512-0711
cheers
