In this last episode of the year, I got a chance to catch up with Team Mississippi Speed Record 2023. Not only did these guys beat the record...they actually had fun doing it! The meaning of SET A RECORD is to achieve something that no other person or thing has achieved. Now while this record was established in 1937, and there have been many attempts and record breaking times over the last several decades, Team MSR holds the most impressive record thus far, landing them the a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Who will be the next to attempt this massive distance? Listen up to see what it takes!

Join Dan Arbuckle from Headwaters Kayak and I as we talk story about my journey to the 2023 MR340 in a surf ski. The race was untimely called to an end at mile 244 for me and at other various spots on the river for 500 + paddlers. But the journey it took for me to get there was still the same!
Enjoy.

In this episode we talk story with Andrew Hansen about his recent experience running safety in the 70/48. A unique paddling race that traverses the puget sound starting in Tacoma, Washington, heading north into Port Townsend. But there is a catch...it starts at 7pm and goes through the night. It is completely self sufficient, other than safety boats, that you will probably not even see unless there is problem. With that being said, hypothermia becomes one of the main issues that a racer needs to prepare for.
Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when your body loses heat faster than it can produce heat. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 F (37 C). Hypothermia occurs when your body temperature falls dangerously below 95 F (35 C). It can happen in as little as 5 minutes.

In this episode, I talk story with Florida native Bobby Johnson about what it takes to be one of the best, He has tackled the Everglades Challenge multiple time, Alabama 650 since the year it started, Last Paddler Standing for the 1st year in 2022, Suwannee 230 and many more. If there is one thing I took from this episode it is that you must have the belief that you can do it. Bobby has shown that he believes if they can do it, he can do it. Enjoy!
