Just got home from racing in the DDRC Trinity River Challenge XVII. -up river of the Elm Fork of the Trinity in Carrollton and back = 11.8 miles. I could hardly believe my name was called at the trophy ceremony. I am delighted to announce I won the JULIE Basham Trophy for Fastest Recreation Female Time! I finished in 3hrs 6min. I lopped off 40 min of my time in last year's race. :D
The Julie Basham Trophy - Given for the fastest time by a female paddler in a
recreational class. And I do not know the history of Julie Basham other than she was an excellent paddler and and ACA Certified Kayak Instructor and served on the Board of Directors. She was a remarkable member of the Dallas Down River Club. I have googled about Julie and found that she was a jewel of a woman, kayaking enthusiast, and a changer of lives. Julie passed away at age 44 in 2007. ----so I am very honored to carry on her paddling tradition and the joy of life she shared with many many people.
