A total of 54 paddlers came out Sunday for the 31st Great Pachaug Canoe and Kayak Race in Griswold, Conn. The event this year raised more than $400 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through both registrations and a 50/50 raffle. The fastest time of the day on the 9-mile kayak course was turned in by Brady Kattman of Glastonbury, Conn. The fastest C-2 of the day on the 10-mile course was Brent Lyesiuk of Orange, Mass., and Lisa Tambussi of Montgomery, Mass. The fast C-1 on the 10-mile course was Paul Dyka of Middletown, Conn. The fastest time on the 4.5-mile recreational course was Chris Taylor of Connecticut. Many thanks to everyone who participated. We look forward to having another successful event next year. Also thanks to Ray Thiel who did a lot of behind-the-scenes work on the day of the race and helped with the permitting process.
