Your path isn’t something you find. It’s something you create.
I recently posted a short YouTube video, Create your own path inspired by my winter paddling and rowing adventures on Horsetooth Reservoir and Carter Lake, along with some summer scenes from Boyd Lake in northern Colorado. The video features my Sea Wind expedition canoe and LiteRace 1x rowing shell by Liteboat. Horsetooth Reservoir has already pretty high water level making it interesting to navigate between ice, sandstone cliffs and submerged trees.
Training for the MR340: Following the Flow or Creating a Path?
I’m training with my Sea Wind canoe for the Missouri River 340 (MR340) race – a 340-mile endurance challenge from Kansas City to St. Charles. Watching my video, I started wondering: does its message apply to the MR340 or other long-distance river races?
Maybe the real lesson should be: stay in the channel, follow the flow, have fun.
But, … the fact that you have signed for something like MR340 and are training for it means that you are creating your own path. What do you think?
