Mild flooding

Today I did two sets of the May strength routine and paddled for 70 minutes.  On the water I did a "pyramid" workout: pieces of 1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 4', 3', 2', 1' with 2 minutes recovery.  With 24 minutes total "on" time to 14 minutes "off" time, it was a pretty taxing workout.  But I felt pretty good as far as paddling hard while maintaining good technique.

The river is supposedly cresting today.  The Memphis gauge reading this afternoon is about 33.8 feet.  That's high enough to put the lower tier of the Greenbelt Park underwater.  I always enjoy paddling among the trees there.
