PPP Episode 47: Crossing Lake Michigan with Rob Hartman
Update: 2025-09-14
Description
Rob joins the Peak Paddle Performance podcast for the second time. But this time, it's all about an epic 80 mile adventure crossing Lake Michigan this past August.
Now in his mid fifties, Rob continues to paddle and race at a very high level. I'm not sure he has ever been beat in the Great Lakes region. In the last two years he held the lead at Chattajack going into the final sprint finish. Suffice it to say, Rob is an incredibly strong paddler both on flat water and downwind.
But this isn't a racing story, this story is about a personal journey to cross Lake Michigan solo, intentionally choosing a day with some decent wind. It was a big undertaking and there were unforeseen circumstances that made it a serious challenge. I hope you enjoy and learn from our discussion!
