Wayfarer on paddling and photography

• 1000 m sprint race in addition to marathon 5 and 10 mile distances
• point system to promote participation, award faster racers, and also to encourage to race different boats by the same paddler and to add some spice
• submission form
• more information about virtual racers and their boats

Everybody is invited to race! Solo, tandems or adventure racer teams. Any paddling boats and paddlers of all skill levels. You can submit as many entries as you wish to show your progress. The current race entries include solo touring, sea and racing kayaks, surfski, unlimited safari boats, and some canoes. No tandem entries yet.

GPS is recommended to record distance and time, but you can also use SpeedMate or similar devices. GPS units designed for training like Garmin Forerunner or Edge are ideal but the simplest GPS units, e.g., Garmin Etrex, will work just fine.

The 5 mile and 10 mile entries are recorded as: (1) "cruisers" with the average speed below 6 mph, and (2) "racers" with the average 6 mph or higher. It should be easier to analyze the results and you can get promoted to the higher category. I have my own entries in both divisions. The results of supermen paddling above 7 mph are typed in red. You can achieve a high point standing in the virtual race by paddling fast or by multiple entries, especially, with different boats.
