2017-05-27 Kayaking - Race South Dakota Kayak Challenge Certified? 7:00am Weather: Rainy, chilly, sunny, warm, cloudy, we saw it all	72 miles 11:58:00 (9:58 min/mile)	Height: 5'7

We won our division, blew the record for our division out of the water by almost two hours, and I can't believe we finished in less than 12 hours. It took us 12 1/2 hours to go 50 miles last year!

I was in bad shape at checkpoint one, the officials wouldn't let me continue on until I stopped shivering and could talk normally without blue lips. The only way I could accomplish this was by accepting a Vikings sweatshirt from a fellow kayaker and running a mile. Thank God I'm a runner and know how to get warm again, right?

When I returned to the dock, we had several warnings and we had to make many promises before they let us head off again. Yes, I was already concerned about hypothermia before that checkpoint but the rain had let up a little and I thought I'd be ok, but not the case once I hit the chilly air outside of our boat. It continued to rain on and and off, but the dry sweatshirt helped a ton, and I was ok after that. My partner Bekah was shivering and chattering, too, but she stayed under the radar.

Never once did Bekah and I get upset with each other, we make quite the team and although we had never even practiced in that tandem, we found our groove right away.

Can't wait to see what we can accomplish at Fort to Field 50 in July!

I was surprised and very happy with this race! When I got the "all clear" that we weren't working today and I would be able to run the race, I was excited but nervous. Just wanted to test my fitness. I was hoping for sub 1:35, but 2 recent workouts suggested this might be unrealistic.

The race was well organized and had great volunteers. On the early miles, I was hitting low 7 minute paces...kept thinking that I would burn out too soon. But it didn't feel overworked, and despite some thinking to pull back, I went with it. About mile 4 the rain crept in and built from there. I was still running low 7's or high 6's until the turnaround just past the entrance to Lake Manawa. The wind had picked up considerably along with the rain, and I knew that heading westbound on Highway 92 would be a serious headwind, and it was. That was my slowest mile, and I tried not to expand too much energy "fighting" the wind. Once I headed north on 24th Street and the rest of the way in the weather let up little by little. Even the westbound stretch of Council Bluffs Rec Complex had the trees buffeting the wind. My paces were coming back...not quite as fast as the first half but 7:10-7:18 This was the 2nd half of a hard effort and I was soaked. As we got by Ameristar and Harrah's, I took comfort in knowing I'd been on that trail countless times and I would be finishing up soon. Finished up in 1:34:25, 35 seconds better than my goal!

It was awesome to see Ecto Rob before the race! Also pre race I had seen a familiar face running around my neighborhood, introduced myself to the gentleman, whose name was Dave and also hails from Ralston. Rob and Dave went on to have great races! Finally saw Mr. Lampe on my way back in, and also had a nice visit with him post race. He wasn't racing, just showing support and out for a run.

Thanks to God, my family and friends for getting me through this!

Met up with a big group at Starbucks for Betsy Wedding Run. Had a great time running with the group. We got done just before the rain moved in. Great way to start off the day.
