Hi John,

Not sure if you're the right person to address this question to though I thought you might know as Race Information Chair.

Do you know if any Taiwanese individuals have participated in the SSS Farallones or Transpac race before? What about Chinese? Thanks!

Regards,
Benjamin Tsai

Wen Lin comes to mind. Wen started the SHTP in 2004 and 2008 but was not able to finish either time. I don't know if he ever did a SH Farallones.

If Benjamin is asking if he can enter - if he otherwise complies with the race rules - of course he can.

John, you might point Benjamin to the combined results for all the SHTPs through 2008 -
http://sfbaysss.org/TransPac/transpac2010/pdf/SHTP_Results_1978-2008.pdf
- where he could search for Chinese names. Of course that wouldn't necessarily mean they were from China or Taiwan.
