Strength and endurance and high water

This morning I did two sets of the May strength routine and paddled for 80 minutes.

On the river I did eight intervals of three minutes on, three minutes off.  Two minutes of each "on" interval were at anaerobic threshold, and the third minute was at sub-maximal intensity--basically the same workout I did back on April 29.  My arms were pretty tired from the strength work, but I maintained good form throughout the workout.

I did this workout while paddling down below the I-55 and old railroad bridges and back up the Arkansas side.  At today's Memphis gauge level of 33.8 feet, the farmland on the Arkansas side was underwater, but it looked a little too shallow for paddling.
