NYCkayaker Mayor's Cup update

[drkayak at optonline.net]

Hello fellow paddlers,

A quick update...Confirmed for 2008 Champion Chip and Sport Track will
be rolling out their GPS Race timing and tracking system at the Mayor's
Cup.  Champion Chip is the world leader in race timing boasting the
most world marathons timed ever!

This technology will track racers live on a Google Map, give live
standings of ALL divisions and monitor heart rates of the top 25
racers.  Did I mention live via a web site.

Here is a demo to enjoy: http://spectator.sport-track.com/spec/start.php?id=581&raceid=601 

In keeping with tradition of great swag.  I am proud to announce Native
Eye wear as a sponsor.   They will be giving away over 40 pairs of
Native eyewear sunglasses.  This is $4500 worth or cool ass shades! 
Other  great products from Manhattan Portage & Crocs!

A great course & the most swag...Take Manhattan by Paddle - the
Mayor's Cup New York City Kayak Championships. www.nymayorscup.com
