I had my first ever go at kayak crewing today. It involved paddling alongside & steering Kevin Cassidy in the right direction during his 9km lake swim - ie, the full length of Lake Burley Griffin from Scrivener Dam to the Boathouse at Grevillea Park Beach. Kevin is an ex ultra runner who is now an endurance swimmer (courtesy of long lasting running injuries etc). Running for 2hrs 41mins is no problem for me, and now I know I can paddle for 2hrs 41mins, but I'm so impressed by Kevin swimming for 2hrs 41mins to take 3rd place in his division.
