The Fly Fish Chick, aka Christine Johnson, is participating in the 260 mile paddle race in Texas. She's not in the race for the fame and glory of finishing in first place! She is in the multi-day race to raise money and awareness for Rett Syndrome. Christine has been training for the race for more than a year, only to have the June event date delayed by heavy rains and flooding. She didn't let the postponement deter her determination even though it meant rearranging schedules and vacation trips for many people.
The race must go on and today the race has started! The Fly Fish Chick and her new race partner have cleared the first 3 portages and are well on their way to surviving this 100 hour race. Clearing the dams and rapids will be the tricky part of the race. It will finish on Wednesday I believe.
