Dan Grubbs introduces a new on-line magazine, Canoe & Kayak Racing.

Canoe & Kayak Racing seeks to promote canoe and kayak racing with content designed to inform, educate and motivate beginners and experienced paddlers of all ages. Canoe & Kayak Racing covers a wide range of editorial and promotional content from tips and how to articles to race reports and feature stories.

As a bi-monthly publication distributed electronically via the Word Wide Web, Canoe & Kayak Racing will be posted on issuu.com where it can be accessed from any computer (full screen mode recommended).

Here are the highlights of this March/April edition of Canoe & Kayak Racing:

* Interview of the race director and a safety boat pilot of the Missouri River 340
* A racer profile of Richard Steppe, Texas racing guru
* A conversation with Ginsie Stauss and what she’s learned during 20 years of racing
* Coach’s Corner on workout routines using beats-per-minute rhythms
* A profile of the famous Des Plaines River Canoe Marathon
* Investigating, “Does training with an ergometer help the average joe?”
* U.S. Marathon trials set at 1996 Olympic paddling venue

I would consider this new magazine to be a part of the MR340 phenomenon. It reminds me Hull Speed published a few years ago in a paper form by Scott Whitney in California.

I hope Canoe & Kayak Racing will be successful. Well, I should better complete my contribution in time for the next issue …
