Kayaking…. do you think I can do it?

I consider myself a novice to intermediate kayaker. Do you think I will be ready to do an 8 mile cross country run/12 mile kayak adventure race on May 12th? The race description used the word “grueling” at least 6 times in the paragraph of four lines.

So…I have never measured the distance I have kayaked… how long should I expect to take if I go at a moderate pace?

I might just go for it and start training now... luckily I have PLENTY of water to practice on here in Charleston!!!

One of my gym instructors recently did a 24 hr adventure race. She's pretty fit and her team dropped out. She said the kayaking was the hardest part. So I wouldn't under estimate how hard it will be.

But don't let that put you off. It sounds fun!!

Geez- a 24 hour race?? WOW!! I am hoping my race will take less than 5 hours. I could always "wimp" out and just do the half marathon.

My, how my view of racing has changed :)

Will keep yall posted- need to start some training ASAP!!!

And who cares if I finish dead last and everyone has already packed up and gone home?
