Smashed it!

Not the boat, our Pangbourne record! previously we had run this in 1:47 pushing hard today in lovely sunshine but very heavy river flow and high water conditions we came in with a time of:

01:41:38, average speed 6.7 mph, max speed 9.2 mph, average heart rate 147 bpm and the best bit we burnt 1,315 calories!

One or two hairy moments as we crossed very turbulent water below Mapledurham lock to the portage in the weirpool.

The weather was perfect the sun was shining through and we spotted a mink in the river. True to form a Grebe surfaced within a foot of the boat and disappeared as quickly as he arrived.

That's all folks, dinner beckons, to fill that calorie deficit.....

Sum for the week:

37 miles paddled since last Sunday.
