 Saturday July 20th,  Two 1st place finishes! 1st place in the 1st annual Paddle Battle Long Island. I finished the 5 mile race in 55:36. The race was a 2 lap buoyed course around Colonels Island and back.
Sunday, I raced in a 1 mile sprint race that started at the finish line of 100 Mile Paddle NYC race. I placed 1st in the elite race with a time of 12:46. I give a lot of respect to all of the paddlers who finished the two day paddle down the hudson. Next year, I hope to have a team together for the 100 miler.
