La Ruta Maya Canoe Race

In March I am competing in a 4 day canoe race called the La Ruta Maya with two other Peace Corps volunteers. It is a gruelling competition and teams from all over North America compete. The race starts in San Ignacio (west) and ends in Belize City (east). The race is 170 miles:

Day 1 - 49 miles
Day 2 - 60 miles
Day 3 - 36 miles
Day 4 - 25 miles

We are required to have a support crew and a sponsor, in which we have already taken care of. I am really excited for this competition and have been working out religiously. I will let you all know how it goes.
