Saturday on the Saint



Amazing day on the Saint Francis. 33 inches. 68 degrees. Best day ever. :)

I hadn't paddled the Saint for a long time, and she welcomed me back with a flip and a swim I probably deserved for my long absence (this was 30 seconds into the run on completely flat water). But the rest of the day was a blast. I found my edges, found my power, and absolutely loved the pushy water. I hope we still have water next weekend.

Cap City Adventure Race



A great day and a great race. We came in first in the coed division and 8th overall. PDF of results here:

The race was 80% biking, with trail running, canoeing, and "mystery events" thrown in. Technical mountain biking was definitely the slowest part of the race for me, but the canoeing section was our secret weapon. I'm excited to bike more this summer and build some speed. Next year I think we can take the whole thing!
