The Hand-Off

I have no idea who these people are, so apologies for posting
unauthorized images, but I wanted you to see how the canoe leg starts.
The road biker hauls down his last stretch and then has to pass off
the timing chip to one canoer. That canoer runs down to the canoe
staging area, grabs his boat and awaiting teammate and they launch
their boat into the river.

The handoff is pretty tricky because no one wants to slow down for it.
The vast majority of bikers seemed to just pitch the chip at their
teammate and fly by, letting their teammate figure out where the chip
landed.
