My one take-away....if you are going to compete solo you need a fast(er) kayak. the 75lb poly-plastic kayak was good but stroke for stroke was much slower then a narrower and lighter kayak.

Minneapolis Tri-Loppet
Okay, this was not part of TMMAR or even an adventure race but it was fun as hell. The Mpls Tri-Loppet is an 8K kayak, 5k rund and 11k mountain bike race in Mpls. Saturday's race was had 350+ competitors and turned out to be a mud-bath on the mountain bike part. I was very impressed with the level of competition in the race....some fast dudes (and dud-ets).
