This weekend was dominated entirely by one event: a trip to Mongo, Indiana for canoeing on the Pigeon River. Me, Laura, Kristin, Kristin's sister and her two girls took up three canoes and paddled from Spero Bridge on a trip that lasted just over four hours. The river is exceptionally low thanks to a lack of rain, and our journey was punctuated by constant dragging and walking of our canoes. Even with the extra work required to get downstream, a full lunch and frequent breaks really helped pace the trip. After five trips on the Pigeon River, I feel like I have developed a good sense of how I want to pace the whole ride.
Now if only everyone else was as leisurely as me about it. As well, even though the day was hot and ride long and tiring yesterday was a blast.
B3 out.
