My training, or lack of training, has generally consisted of doing cardio during the day and then drinking beer at night which I'm sure offsets everything I've gained during my runs. Up until a few days ago the Green has been shut off except during the weekends so this has added some difficulty for practicing also. But do I really need practice on a run I've paddled a kajillion times? The answer is no. All I need is the right run at the right time and a little bit of luck to be around the top of the pack. Will I win? No, not this year not a chance in hell. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try.
In this day in age it's all about going out your hardest and representing for the home town (pertaining to the Green Race). I may not win, but I'm going to fight off as many of the out-of-towners as I can. And I hope my fellow local boaters do the same, because they surely must feel the same as me when it comes to this matter.
So foreigners, nancies, pro-kayakers, Teva athletes, dirtbags, and anyone non-local who feel they're bringing the heat this Saturday, rest assured that we will bring thy heat also. Or, something like that. Alright, enough shit talking. Here is a headcam video I put together from a beautiful day on the Green. I just got a gopro camera and have had a blast playing with it this weekend. I look forward to capturing some of the other goods here in the southeast with this thing on.
The video is uploaded to Vimeo in HD so until I figure out how to embed it into this post just follow the link.
