A different perspective of Pittsburgh's skyline"Right arm forward and pull. Left arm forward and pull. Right arm, left arm. Use the abs and torso rotation. Oh, the boat is veering right, better correct that." On Saturday that was what our brains and bodies thought about for one hour after another, after another, after another, after another... for 10 hours! In those ten hours the group I paddled with managed to go 28 miles. Not a bad day's work, I say.
The 28-mile Kayak-a-thon path marked in yellowOverall, the day was a great success. A total of 23 paddlers showed up to paddle and raise money for either the CCO's Outdoor Leadership Team or their own ministry with the CCO. I had three friends from the Pittsburgh area that joined me for the paddling as well as helped raise money for the event. Below you'll see us on the Allegheny River.
Kaitlin, Travis, Emily, MattThanks for all your prayers and good wishes. We were all safe and had beautiful weather. Chilly in the morning, but a clear, autumn sky and perfect temperatures in the afternoon. If you participated in another way by coming to encourage us at lunch or sponsoring a paddler, thank you! My group of four raised over $1500, so every little bit added up!
