  • Paddling Photography in April (2005-2008)

    I am trying to return back to my older articles through “Paddling Photography a Year Ago” series. However, I am running this blog for over 5 years. So, today, I offer a look at selected April posts over the recent 4 years. I am writing a similar post in my Fitness Paddling blog as well.

  • 3 x 340 Miles on Missouri River: from 98 to 50 Hours

    I added a story by Katie Pfefferkorn to the 3 years of Missouri River 340 Race series posted in my Fitness Paddling blog. Katie paddled MR340 three times solo finishing in 98, 58, and 50 hours.

    There are not so many women in that ultra marathon race. Male paddlers dominate. However, I just noticed that half of 3 times finishers (Bryan Hopkins, West Hansen, Christina Glauner, Chuck and Di McHenry, Katie Pfefferkorn) are girls. They must more persistent in that madness than boys. I would spoil this perfect statistcs a little bit if I add myself.
