Kayaker's Korner

I am kayaker in central Wisconsin, I enjoy the small rivers and lakes my area offers and have been doing it for 7 years. I started out doing short trips 7 to 12 miles. After my  1st year I decided to start training for longer trips. My 2nd season twice I did the entire parameter and islands of the Waupaca Chain O Lakes between 22 and 24 miles in 9 hours. I continue to do what is now called the Chain O Lakes Challenge several times a year my best time prior to May 22nd 2021 was 7h 43m. On May 22nd I did a tribute trip for Veteran and Law Enforcement Suicide Awarness. I did the chain twice in 1 day with my kayak Liberty,  she is a 12" OldTown Loon and used a Aqua bound carbon fiber paddle. With over a years training we did this trip 44.88 miles in 14h 44m.
I've also kayaked a 28 mile stretch of the tomorrow river. I emphasize fitness, breathing, endurance training.
