Time Trial

I paddled a 4-person canoe tonight at the time trials. It was a lot of fun. I was in the second seat, behind Alec Davis. FWIW, second and third seats in a 4-person canoe are difficult positions to be in; the canoe is soo wide that it is difficult to use efficient technique. I am glad the course is only 3.45 miles in length.

We had a lot of fun .. we got a jump on all the paddlers at the start, then we got stuck on some rocks and got behind. We had to work hard as a team to get back into first place. At the finish we were edged out by a nose by an unlimited kayak. It was high fives and smiles all around after the race!

Distance: 3.45 miles
Time: 29'15"

If I were to paddle that c-4 again, I'd try to move the second seat closer to the bow and use a longer paddle.
