Teams

Too Old For This S#*@: This team was in the female pairs 65-69 age group. A pair of “attagirls” to you guys for finishing in 3 hours, 3 minutes, 25 seconds!

Flaming Chickens: No Bend team event would be complete without a shoutout to the city’s most iconic piece of roundabout art.

But I Had the Nordic Leg!: No worries — This coed 16-19 team placed first out of four entries in the category.

Wii UnFit: Would have received even more bonus Bend points for playing a solar-powered video-game console on a paddleboard.

Clever Team Name: Congratulations, you made the list.

Old: This was the lone entry in the tandem pairs 60-64 age category, and they finished in 3:15:51. Sometimes, simple and to the point is the best.

Rob Schneider’s #1: An A-plus troll job, but if you REALLY want the most annoying team name, may we suggest “Nickelback.”

Individuals

Dr. Bones, Dr. Buns, Elvis The White, Elvis The Black: Every year some individuals perform entry list shenanigans. For the record, the doctors have their first names listed as “Dr.,” while the Elvises (Elvisses? Elvii?) have their last names as “The White” and “The Black.”

Wild card

Nils Ericksson was a member of A Viking and a Sicilian — guess which one he is — and lists his duties on the official volunteer roster as “Handsome Swede.” Sounds like good work if you can get it.

Our least favorites

We found far too many entries punning off “Young and the Restless” or “Fast and Furious.”
