Question for you: why the different pace strategies? That part I don't understand
the hudson is tidal. generally, the ebb grows stronger as you get closer to NYC.
the pace calculations are the average speed one would need to maintain in order to finish each stage. these take into account current speed predictions and tide shifts. its not an exact science, as there are many possible weather related situations which can have influence on the rivers ebb and flow.
