Tearing myself away to race

Later this morning I'll start the six-hour drive down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  The inaugural Pascagoula Run is tomorrow: it's about a twelve-and-a-half-mile (20-kilometer) race that starts at Little River marina and finishes in Lighthouse Park in Pascagoula.  I've long heard how beautiful the Pascagoula River is and I'm looking forward to paddling on it.

Out-of-the-boat concerns have continued to occupy my attention,  but I did get down to the river Tuesday and yesterday, and did the current strength routine Monday and Wednesday.  Yesterday I did a set of eight 12-stroke sprints to polish my speed a bit ahead of tomorrow's race.
