Route Details

Final route details are slowly crystallizing. I don't want to make any concrete, rigid plans with the route because so much of this adventure depends on flexibility. For example, weather might force me to make route changes for safety reasons. Or perhaps an injury that will not allow me to run will force some changes in the plan. Since I can't predict a lot of factors, I will simply approach the Great Transversal with an attitude of flexibility.

That said, however, the big picture will look something like this: 

Saturday, June 6th: Begin kayaking in Lake Superior. Kayak approximately 30 miles.

Sunday, June 7th: Second day of kayaking in Lake Superior. Another 30 miles that ends in Duluth, MN.

Monday, June 8th: First day of rollerskiing, covering approximately 50 miles.

Tuesday, June 9th: Second day of rollerskiing, covering another 50 miles. 

Wednesday, June 10th: Get on the bike for approximately 100 miles. 

Thursday, June 11th: Swim 1 mile across the St. Croix River, then bike approximately 100 miles.

Friday, June 12th: Run the final 20 miles into Rochester.

Soon I should be able to post a map of Minnesota that shows the specific route and mode of transportation for each segment.
