COMMENTS..: My name is Alex Donaldson and I am currently looking for a partner for 
            the 2007 canoe marathon.  I raced last year for the first time and I 
            have been training hard since I came back from college at the end of 
            April.  I am 19 years old and I live in Grayling, MI and know the river 
            very well.  I own a 100% race ready bullet.  It is a dependable carbon 
            fiber boat.  Although I failed to complete the race last year I now 
            know what it takes to complete it and I am confident in my ability to 
            do so.  If anyone is interested in getting out to do some paddling do 
            not hesitate to call me at 989.619.4009.  The sooner the better.

            Roadman/Rankinen at the 2006 marathon (also train with these
            guys a lot). Would prefer an experienced partner who has done
            the race before and is fairly close to my weight...although
            beggers can't be choosers!  I weigh 153-155 lbs.  Will paddle
            bow or stern...no preference.  I have a JD Pro that is 1 yr old
            and in great condition.  This is my last year of college and
            my class schedule is not exactly "demanding"...so I have a TON
            of time to train this year.  Would like to have a solid race.
            Also looking for a partner for the 70...I have done the 70 before.

COMMENTS..: My name is Doug Jewell, I'm a male 51 soon to be 52 y.o. former
            paddler and triathlete. My former spouse and I won the usca canoe
            state championship mixed division in ohio in 1989 and two respectful
            finishes in the 1988 and 1989 Minnesota Border To Border Triathlon,
            which includes a 50 mile canoe race stage. I also placed well in many
            canoe and swim triathlons in years past. Even though I've not competed
            at a top level in many years, I have still worked out and stayed in
            good shape. I would like to start canoe racing again and I'm looking
            for a male or female partner that would like to race the Ausable
            together, I am a bow paddler and do not perform well in the stearn.
            I'm willing to travel to the Grayling area for training on occasion
            and willing to do what's necessary on my end to be successful. I also
            understand that the Ausable is no small task and my initial goal is to
            finish within the mandatory time limit for the first attempt. If any
            intersst please feel free to contact me @ the above.
            Sincerely, Doug Jewell.
