MR340 - Kayak racing
« on: April 25, 2024, 04:18:56 PM »
YOU GUYS!!  I'm so stupidly excited about this!

Did you know that there is such a thing as kayak racing? And you kayak on rivers to get to the next point? I didn't! I was lamenting that I really wanted to get back into triathlon but absolutely hate bike riding with cars and then someone told me of the MR340.

https://mr340.org/

340 miles on the Missouri River over two days. I probably should start with something a bit less, but I kinda want to do this just to finish it! Since my elbows are shot, I use a kayak that is pedal powered (Hobie Revolution 13 if you're interested.)

I'd have to train hard to make it. But what an experience!!!

I got mine used and it's a 2017 model. It was about $1600, and I don't feel bad about spending that on something that brings me so much happiness.
