My 2023 goal: return back to paddle racing (MR340 and more)

My 2023 goal: return back to paddle racing with the Missouri River 340 race as the main event. You can expect more videos from paddling and training, and more workouts from my gym backyard.
Blog post summarizing my 13 years experience with the MR 340:

I'm hoping to ride my bike 1000 miles this year and to paddle 120 hours.

I admire anyone who does the MR340. Curious, how fast do you need to paddle on flatwater to be compared to the paddle speed you need for the river race?

It depends on your race goal. It's not so much about speed, but rather your ability to stay in a boat for long, long hours and moving. If you can keep average speed of 3 mph, the river can probably add to it about 2 mph. So, with 5 mph you can finish with 68 hour of active paddling. You have to stop, rest, sleep for 12 h maybe. So, 70 hours finish time. And, some demons like headwinds, storms or fog can slow you down.

Well, I started to talk to myself ... Going insane? Concerning the subject probably yes.
