Hey Paddle Skool, I am training for my first 30 mile race on an OC2 "Gemini" and am looking into a water system that I can bungee onto the canoe. I am totally open to recommendations, something that is 2L. This race will take roughly around 3ish hours I think? I have never done one before, I would love any extra tips or gear suggestions! Possibly electrolytes to add or whatever you may suggest. The race: https://racetothedome.org/ Thank you so much!

Hi! Does anyone also use this HRM? AI says.."Battery Life: Up to 1 year with 1 hour of daily use Up to 500 hours total battery life." I have had mine for 3 months, and I use it for activities for 6 hours a week at most. That's about 75 hours so far. My Garmin app tells me it's already low in battery though.

I just came back from 3 weeks of vacation. How do y'all keep fit when traveling abroad with no gym?! Do you pack extra running shoes?

Tek (and any others with feedback), after 4 weeks of rest/vacation/flu, should I restart training by following the module from month 1 or 2 training with you? I wanted to do a time trial to see where I stand, and don't know where my current physical, cardiovascular standing is.

This year we have new paddlers and they are interested in buying new paddles (DB and OC). What method do you recommend measuring a person for the proper paddle length? I know I still fight with the proper length for me going from 49-51... Should they just follow the size guide on the manufactures website? Thank you!
