This is an informal endurance race event hosted by SAKE. No race fee. Start at Leschi marina, paddle south and turn around under the west end of the I-90 bridge, paddle north to 520 and turn around under the bridge, and back to Leschi. Rolling bench breaks, (30 strokes each time) and switches on the fly. The race will be followed by a potluck at the Lakewood/Seward Park community centre.
Most clubs in western Washington field crews for this event, and there are also some OC entries, plus, maybe, a (crazy) paddle boarder or two. Stats - (approximately) 7 miles/1h15m of pretty much non-stop paddling.
If this piques your interest, you will need to show up for regular endurance training sessions. It will be a test of fortitude regardless, but if you train for it, it should be (a little) less of a sufferfest.
