Rock Springs River 8.5 Mile Kayak Race, Apopka, FL
The race started at 9:00 AM, one racer starting each minute and in the 2nd mile, hit an imaginary wake and flipped over. It happened again in mile six, which put me out of the running for overall winner. The weather was sunny, calm, 80 degrees on a narrow river with many downed trees. All were partially cleared to allow boats to make it through without portage. The water level was unusually high due to the rain left behind by Hurricane Fay.
