Ed Collard is taking up a new challenge. Not food this time. Ed will be in a kayak at the starting line of the 25th running of the BlackBurn Challenge on Saturday, July 23rd. I told him there was beer and pulled pork at the greasy pole finish line and he said he would think about it. I mentioned cupcakes and he is all in.
Ed will be paddling in my last year’s craft the green one in this photo. I am making a slight upgrade to the white one.
We have 85 days left to get in shape as noted here on my timer. I use Lattof Farm Monkey Bread for my training regimen and I believe Ed just inhales everything.
Anyone else want to do a quick paddle around Cape Ann with a few hundred other boats in July? We should be able to find you something to sit in. It’s the Silver Jubilee running. Once in a lifetime.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Love that Ed

God Help You ED! No one else will. Hopefully they’ll be some Pork left when you finish.

Paul’s feat last year inspired me to give it a go. With his tutorship and my strict dietary controls I should be fine. Beer,Pulled pork,Cupcakes….get out of my way!!!

Looks like the green machine’s GMG sticker nearly survived last year’s race … a good omen for Ed. But no worries, especially if the beer was brewed using wiskey kegs, he’ll make it.
