Canoeing race (C2 bow) 9:06:41 [5] 62.1 mi (8:48 / mi)
General Clinton "70 Miler" race in NY on the Susquhanna. Low water, temperature hit 91, only had to actually get out of the boat and run down the river once.....
Had a good start and came of the lake in 5th place. Shortly after made it into 3rd place by passing two boats that weren't so good in the turns then totally unintended ended up in 1st when the two boats in front of us went through a tree (and had to stop) where we knew there was a boat width gap over to one side. Stayed there for a bit and then started dropping back. Had a nice ride most of the way to Goodyear Lake and a bit of the way to Oneonta Dam (the last portage at about half way), and then we were on our own for basically the rest of the race. No wakes to ride, no one behind us that were worth waiting for and the guys in front were just too far in front to chase. Made for a long day....... ended up 6th.
