Norwich, VT (USA)

Even though I'd gone to bed much later than normal last night, I was away at my usual time (0600).  I immediately started teleworking but had by eye on the weather.  With five miles to go to reach 75 miles of paddling before Prouty Day, I decided I might be able to get some miles in my kayak before all of my work colleagues arrived at the office.  I tried to beat the storm this morning by launching Tequila Sunrise just after 0700.  Long story short: I spent an hour on the Connecticut River getting drenched.  Misery loves company, though, and I was happy to see that the Dartmouth Crew Team, along with some older people training for the Prouty Row, were just as dedicated to getting miles on the water as I was.  I managed to log about 2.5 miles on the water before returning to my condo (0815).  After getting cleaned up, I returned to meetings and the rest of my telework day.  At 1600, I knocked off and headed to Jesse's for my Thursday Evening Happy Hour.  I was home again by 1800 and did a little bit more teleworking before finishing work for the day.  I'm now only 2.5 from reaching my paddling goal!
