Itinerary:

Hopefully I don't ROLL anything on this event!
Join me for an up river paddle from Azalea Park boat ramp north to Therapy Island (small section of rocks just off the shore from Island Ford) and back. You will need to call on some deep physical conditioning as we battle UP the recent current and UP the rapids section just down river from the Island (or you could cheat and pull your boat along, I  won't tell)...it is very demanding even though it's listed moderate but rest assured that really is because the last half of this work out is going with the flow back to Azalea, getting there is the test.But if you cannot manage the up river at that point feel free to hang out while we shoot up the river a bit get to the "island" recover for a second and head back down river.

We're starting super early because I have a busy day, but want to get on the water before I start "adulting" this weekend. There has been thick morning fog on the water that provides a surreal element to the start, but as the sun comes up it burns off quickly! #PaddlesUP at 06:30 c'mon!
