The annual 10 mile race from Dotsero to Hanging Lake rest area on the Colorado Rive organized by Jerry Nyre Canoe Colorado took place on August 24, 2008. I didn’t race this year due to wrist tendonitis (more related to my computer work than paddling).

Jeremy Rodgers:
I was hell bent on breaking course record of 1:05 which I did set by a composite tandem K2 back in 1999. Hanging Lake was no longer a flowing river this year as Shoshone Dam was functioning as usual. Cfs was about 1600 or medium to low. None of the surprise drops from last year were encountered.
I believe that Jeremy paddled his JKK Supernova multisport kayak and Mike Lesnik – WSBS X-par Missile. Andy Howell is a South African marathon paddler transplanted to Denver this summer. He was paddling a Fenn surf ski.
