5 ½ Months Until the Big Race!!

OMG! It’s just a little over a month until the race. Am I freaking out? Absolutely!!!
This week I should know for sure if my entry has been accepted (fingers crossed). I’m keeping a close eye on the mailbox to say the least. I’m also getting geared up for the big event. I ordered a Thule rack for the roof of my car. Those of you who’ve seen my car will understand that the roof rack will encompass the entire worth of that vehicle. This means I’m gonna start locking my doors. :) Anyway, hopefully the rack will be in any day now.

I spent my evening, last night, calling every Wilderness kayak dealer within 30 miles of my house to see if they carry the Wilderness Tsunami 145 with Rudder (sheesh). REI is the only one that has it and the second Dan gets that Thule rack installed on my car I’ll be headed to the store to her pick up. I’ll surely let you know when I’ve got it.

In the meantime, I’ve been planning my weekend paddles to work up the strength to complete the 90-miler. Weather kept me from completing the 20-miles I wanted to accomplish last week. I only got it 10. This weekend I’m off to a rafting adventure on the Delaware River. Losing another couple days of hard paddling. The plan is that once I’ve got the new boat then I’ll be on the water at least four days a week. I better get that boat soon!!
