Ski to Sea

Ski to Sea.

Our team name is "A Rubbernecking Delay". I'm the seventh and final leg (fin?), kayaking.

Wish me luck!

That seems fun. How long does the race take? Good luck.

Thanks all!

I survived. The elapsed time at the finish was 10:26:00. I was paddling for about 1:45 over the five mile course.

I'm gonna go take a fresh water shower now.

Awesome! Much respect for this level of endurance.
