MR340 2023 - A Year of Headwind and High Water!

- This event has been on the bucket list for a long time. It is well outside my wheelhouse as most of my adventures are on land. Previously, my kayak record was 13 miles. However, I love finding new ways to test my limits and grow as an athlete and this race definitely accomplished both of those objectives! I felt truly connected with nature. The headwinds made me cry, the sunset made me smile, and the constant rhythm of my paddling put my mind at ease. This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, the river reached flood stage and the race was called off at 3pm on Wednesday. I made it 197 miles in 33 hours and finished 10th overall in the men's solo division. I will return to complete the race in its entirety and assert my dominance over the river!
Fantastic video!
Thank you!
I've used the same boat for the 340 past few years, love it. Paddle boarding it next year!
It’s definitely not a rocket ship but it’s sturdy and treated me well. I’ll see you out there next year!
Nice job on getting 10th solo. Yes the wind was crazy this year.
Thank you! Can’t wait to get back out there next year !
Awesome video Cody. I was in the Epic V9 and we met past Glasgow. Look forward to seeing you in 2024. My wife and I loved your comments. Your humor had us in stitches. Billy Bellinger #1340
I remember you! Thanks for keeping me company for awhile there! I’m looking to get an epic and be a bit more competitive this year. Thanks for watching. See ya out there!
The Epics are fast. In your video I saw my boat on the ramp at Glasgow. I took 3 1/2 hours off at Glasgow and launched after you. You also need to study paddling technique to get max benefit off the boat. @@Cody-does-things
@@b1lyb I have a lot to learn that’s for sure! Time to be a student of the sport and not just muscle my way through like I did last time
Great video man! That was an awesome job for no practice. I just got a boat and been out a few times. Still a lot to learn by July but ill see you out there!
Thanks! It’s coming up quick, see you soon!
Great job Cody, I enjoyed your video man!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
For not putting in a lot of effort, you did fantastic for your first run and during the most brutal conditions.
There were people that prepared for a year that didn't even make it to the first checkpoint. Be proud
Thank you! I can't wait to get after it again next year!
@@Cody-does-thingsI will see you on the water 👊
nice job man!
Thanks!! Can’t wait for next year!
@@Cody-does-things I had some friends that were in the race last year. I have been encouraged to do the race but Ive never been big on paddling rivers in the dark
Nice video Cody, it was a hell of a year for this race. Sounds like you were on your way to a solid finish had it not been for the weather.
Thanks! It sure was one heck of a race haha! I’ll be going back next year. Unfinished business on the river!

Are you planning to do it again in 2024?
