I paddled for 60 minutes this morning. Paddled the surf ski out on the mighty river. And mighty it is, even though it's quite low: today's 7:00 AM CDT Memphis gauge reading was 5.6 feet below zero.
Just like two weeks ago, there was a barge rig coming upriver as I was coming out of the harbor. I tried to surf behind it, but the waves were moving just a little too fast and they were wide from peak to peak, not quite deep enough to get a good surf. A pretty good north wind was blowing and I think that flattened the waves out a bit. But I still did a lot of short, hard sprints in my effort to catch them, and I think that made for a good workout.
