Riverdocs to Spanish River
Saturday, April 1, 2006 brint.adams@us.army.mil
The conditions were pretty good for a longer workout on the bay as I arrived at Riverdocs at 6:30 AM. It was cloudy and 72 degrees with a 5 knot southerly breeze, a medium water level and a rising tide. To simulate closer to race conditions, I did not take any stopped watch water breaks. I decided to take water twice, at 3.33 and 6.66 miles and quickly did so without stopping my watch.
My mile splits over to the Tensaw River were 9:08 and 10:08, before turning up into Delvan Bay to Spanish River. My splits upriver were 9:52, 9:56 and 9:32. On the return, I tried to push it hard into the breeze and rising current, hitting 10:23, 10:14, 9:50, 9:36 and 9:57 for a total 10 mile time of 1:38:36 at 6.1 mph.
