We are back,returned
from the edge;
The edge of failure.
Brushing against
the limits of our abilities,
reaching down and pulling
one last sprint,
one more paddle pull.
smacking a canoe with one's
forehead.
Sticking a handle in your eye.
Taking a swim in
the Marion.
Finishing in a personal record
time.
Sore, extremely sore.
blistered, duct taped
physically exhausted.
It is such a wonderful
feeling.
Off to the dollar generator for rest and recuperation. More later, with photos not yet down loaded.
