Hare and Hounds

Well, today whilst I was merrily enjoying some canoeing on the Cam, Joel popped up and asked if I was racing. I was in a MA majorette so the shouldn't really have been much of a question but hey, its a very quick canoe.

So yeah, naturally I got roped into doing this little race from outside the boathouse (newnham) to the fork (granchester) which is just past the Red Lion pub, which as far as I can remember is a pretty good pub. And then back again, a grand old 4-5 miles... if that.

My new record breaking time is 38:29 which probably only breaks the record set by anyone stupid enough to try it in a playboat... like me... I think... with a fantastic time of most of the evening and a picnic stop half way to regain energy.

So then, upon arriving back at the boathouse, I went to put my BA away on my Jackson and found out that my wetshoe-cheepo-trainer-thingys had gone mouldy!!! YUM!!! Epic excuse to get a new pair like those asics goretex ones I was looking at.

All in all a good morning... but I now have a load of geology homework to do; which sucks. But ah well.
