[Paddlewise] Thousand Milers

I started racing in 1966, quit racing in 1994, trained a lot.  Since 1966 I 
have averaged 150 days a year paddling a kayak.  Really conservative 
estimate of daily mileage [allowing for short slalom days and long marathon 
races] gives a minimum of 35,000 miles.  Although I should say that my 
training log records time, not distance.  A generous estimate would be 
closer to 40,000 miles.

I never calculated this before, but it is really scary.  Especially when I 
consider that it is about thirty one million strokes.  If I had only worked 
for a dollar an hour instead I'd have a huge bank account.

But I'd be really unhappy.
