May update (and a much, much, needed one)

Once again, I am starting out my post with an apology for not keeping this page updated. Between finals and a trip to help my girlfriend move to Seattle for a summer internship, things have been quite crazy. However, I will be working through the last details of the adventure in the coming weeks, so check back here often.

Route details in the form of maps will be posted here over the weekend. For now, I will describe the route in words. 

Days 1 and 2 (Day 1 = Saturday, June 6th): 

Begin kayaking at Split Rock Point on Lake Superior. This point corresponds to mile 42 of the Lake Superior Water Trail. End in Duluth, Minnesota on Day 2.

Day 3: 

Rollerski from Duluth, MN to Hinckley, MN via the Willard Munger state trail.

Day 4: 

Bike from Hinckley, MN to Stillwater, MN via highway 61, the Hardwood Trail, the Gateway Trail, and highway 96.

Day 5:  

Swim across the St. Croix River at Stillwater and then bike to Pine Island (too many roads to list here, but check back in the coming days for a map).

Day 6: 

Run the final 13 miles via the Douglas Trail into Rochester. 

Please note that while the actual route is not likely to change, the specific activities that take place on each day will likely be tweaked. For example, I might choose to bike instead of rollerski the Munger State Trail instead  if weather conditions or other circumstances warrant it. Or, I might decide to run more on the last day or add some miles of running to certain days, depending on the conditions. Again, while the route will stay the same, the activities on each day are subject to change. 

Much more detailed descriptions to come soon in the form of maps with actual milage distances!
