Bay Minette Creek 10 mi.
Sunday, November 20, 2005 brint.adams@us.army.mil
I had so much fun yesterday, I had to go back for more and a longer course this morning. I put in at the Bromley bridge at 7:52 AM under clear skies, 48 degrees, no wind and a slight falling tide. I set my new toy for ten miles at a 6.0 mph speed and took off. This morning I scared up a couple of great blue herons and came across a few early morning fishermen, but that was about it, as I pretty much had the creek to myself all the way down to beyond Buzbee's and the Hwy 225 bridge.
On the way downstream my mile splits were 9:55, 9:41, 9:38, 9:23 and 9:26. The turnaround is almost a half mile out into Bay Minette basin beyond the 225 bridge.
On the way back upstream, I had to fight harder to try and maintain pace, although I continued to hit over 10:00. My splits were 10:21, 10:22, 10:16, 10:13 and 10:16 for a total ten mile time of 1:39:34. So, again I was able to hold on and beat my little virtual buddy, this time by only 26 seconds.
