Well, I can't ever be in Eppie's Great Race, because I'm Shomer Shabbos, and the race is on Saturday. But, today I kayaked the course with the Sacramento Paddle Pushers, so I know that I could do the Iron Woman now---if the race was on Sunday.
We launched at Fairs Oaks Walking Bridge off Sunrise Blvd.
Then our leader showed us where Eppie's Great Race kayakers launch---just above the Sunrise Walking Bridge.
Soon the first fast flow appeared.
Eventually we approached the dangerous, yet short San Juan Rapids.
After the rapids there is this super cute shoe tree---a collection of shoes that people lose in the rapids.
A few racers were with us, so when we came to the triple fork, we determined the middle fork is the fastest.
After the triple fork is a double fork. The fastest fork is the left one.
Finally, we came to the finish line for Eppie's Great Race.
P.S. To my blog readers: If you want to support a struggling math/engineering teacher and author, please buy my first book, "The Romance of Kilimanjaro," soon to be followed by my second book at: https://www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=9781613464960 Thank You!
