paddling 4:47:17 [4]
Big East River X
HOT DAY!! Great event. Had a lot of fun despite deciding about 20 minutes in that I am not a big fan of either canoe paddling on flat water or sitting in the front of the boat... neither of those decisions wavered throughout the day.
Solo's started at 8:00 and tandems at 8:10, so that is a very civilized start time. Race starts behind AO in Huntsville, down into Lake Vernon and up the Big East to Arrowhead PPish and back to AO for the finish.... within crawling distance of a pub(s)!!
Lot's of categories and lots of different type of boats (&SUPs). Very relaxed/friendly atmosphere... except for team 11 from what I hear :-)
We were not as efficient as we could have been. Cadence too low, strokes too long and boat was not the best for a windy river, but still a great boat (Cruiser 222).
John bought two new paddles for the race, which I liked. I was literally peeling price tags of the handle at the start line. Hands were tender by the end but fine by Sunday... no blisters!
I'd do it again for sure. It was great in the blazing hot sun... I'd like to try in on a rainy day!
