canoe 1:00:00 [3] 3.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
usara nationals. Race started with a short canoe section, glenn and I were one of the first to the canoes, but everyone else went on the land side of the canoe pile to pick one out. we went to the water side and just yanked one straight out of the pile and into the water in one motion. We tried to adjust the seat while mari ran down from getting the passport but our fingers were too cold. ended up leaving mid pack but passed a bunch of teams to finish the section in 6th or so.
