I was keen to do a longer, more intense session in the boat today. From the marina I paddled to the mouth of the harbor, then headed upriver toward the mouth of the Wolf River. A steady northwest breeze slowed my progress on this leg, but the going wasn't as miserable as it sometimes can be.
When I got to the Wolf I paddled up it some two miles to the Danny Thomas Boulevard bridge. Then I turned around and returned to the marina the same way I had come, pushing the pace pretty hard until I reached the harbor. Elapsed time: 120 minutes.
I've been plenty tired the rest of the day. But I think a couple more sessions like this one will be good to have under my belt when I enter the 22-mile race down at Vicksburg on April 27.
