36 hours before the start of 2009 MR340 Race. Kansas City skyline with a silhouette of Lewis and Clark as seen from the Kaw Point at the confluence of Kansas (Kaw) and Missouri Rivers. The moon is getting full specially for the race.

I posted several articles on the 2009 Missouri River 340 Race from Kansas CIty to St Charles in Fitness Paddling blog:

It was my 4th MR340 Race. This year I paddled Surfrigger, my outrigger canoe and completed the race in 61:11 hours.

As usual, I paddled with my Pentax Optio W30 camera, but I was shooting pictures mostly before the start and after finish. Surfrigger kept me busy paddling. I will be writing more about my racing plans and training for the next year.
