Head Race: Head of the Anacostia
September 20, 2008; Anacostia River, Washington DC

Submitted by Kelley O'Connell.

Distance: 2.5 miles
Conditions: Sunny, clear skies, 5.7 miles per hour of head wind for the entire course, slight chop in Bob Day Bay with water flattening by Ba-da Bing Strip.
Comments: Beautiful Day! No river traffic, great racing and for the first time ever in the Apple Pie judging there was a 3 way tie for first resulting in the first "taste-off." The winner, Greg Fuller, is now a 2 time champion of the HOTA Apple Pie Baking Contest.
