Technically 1:47 would count as a world records, except for the conditions in Alcan. Compared to Sydney where the races were held in an artificial channel (No tide, held start, etc.), we had drifting start, major tide movement, and quite a bit of tailwind. Compare it to last year when the best times were within 1:54~ range, it's slightly more dubious. You can even see Rec A teams pushing the 2 minute marks!
And yeah, it's funny to see that FCRCC mixed team is faster than all of the Men's teams, but hey, it really shows how strong the women paddlers are themselves.
Also, full Alcan results are out if you're slow on the intake. Magnums did pretty well in Guts and Glory in the form of having a later start and not having to hit any other boats in the turns.
