Third Time Trial

This week, in a downpour, I waited on the promise of paddling the bow position in a tandem canoe. The promise was empty and my canoe never showed.

So ... after the canoes started, I put together my paddle and grabbed my kayak and set off on a chase. It was cold and rainy - perfect for madpaddler - I paddled hard and enjoy being 'in the hunt'. I caught the lead canoe at the top of the island. At which point, I tried to pace the lead canoe and give them an opportunity to ride wash. With about one mile left, I cruised to the finish line.

No time, since I wasn't racing. I suppose I can consider this an interval night - 2 x 0.5 mile.

I need to plan a long paddle on Friday for the Owasco Lake Challenge on Sunday.
