Last summer I did support for my brother during the Sea To Summit triathlon. The sea to summit starts in Portsmouth NH with a 12.5 mile kayak paddle up the Piscataqua river, followed by a 92 mile bike ride up to Conway NH, a 4 mile run up route 16 to the Tuckerman's ravine trailhead and finally about a 4 mile climb up Mount Washington on the Lionshead or tuckerman's ravine trail. Rob won the Sea to Summit, he passed my brother during the run, Rob's time was about 8 hours 30 minutes. For those who might have climbed Mount Washington Rob did the climb in about 90 minutes and averaged above 20 mph for the bike ride. The weekend after the sea-to-summit Rob Nagle and his paddling partner (Ed Duggan), who had also done the sea-to-summit, won the tandem surf ski division in the Blackburn Challenge. The Blackburn is a 19 to 24 mile open water race around Cape Ann (Gloucester) in Massachusetts. During last years race, the northern leg of last years race was rough enough that a 6 man outrigger flipped as it headed around a point. The texas water safari sounds like something Nagle would love. kirk who once realizes that the 19 mile canoe race I'm doing this weekend should be "childs play". *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 20 1998 - 15:14:23 PDT
