Jailbreak!

For anyone in the Central Tennessee area this weekend, don’t forget the Jailbreak Triathlon. This event is sponsored by Outdoorzy and is a great off-road triathlon course. Inmates from the county jail help you put your boat in the water to start the race. Then you paddle your a$$ off when the gun goes off, because you don’t know where the shot came from ;)

Seriously though, great race to compete in, and a great race to watch. Come down to Columbia if you’re in the neighborhood to hang out with some Outdoorzies. Prizes will be given away, and the weather is shaping up to be perfect.

Kayakers Paddle from Portugal to Gibraltar

Members of the Gibraltar Canoeing Association paddled, unassisted, from Portugal to Gibraltar in sea kayaks. The endurance paddle had a total distance of over 302 km, and took 6 days. The team did a 3 hour night paddle at one point on their trek in order to paddle past the Coto Doñana Nature Reserve.

Weather conditions were good for most of the expedition but the team encountered severe thunderstorms at the end of last week. Some strong adverse, easterly winds around the Barbate and Tarifa coasts as well.
