This past Saturday I was the Finish Line for a Stand Up Paddle Boarding race on the lake. The Finish Line was under the London Bridge (World Famous, mind you)
I learned all about Stand Up Paddle Boarding last week. It's similar to a surf board, but the rider has a kayak paddle of sorts and just paddles along like they would in a kayak. But standing straight up. My friend tried it (Kenny!) and said it was the toughest ab workout he'd ever done. It's hard-core training for the core of the body.
These Paddle Boarders had an eight mile track on the lake. In between each mile they had to stop at the beach, run up and check in, and then run back to their board and hit the lake again. Then they paddled their last mile over to see me at the Finish. Does your body hurt thinking about that? Mine does.
We had forty participants, and the winner was a fifty-something muscle-bound smiley guy who did the race without a problem. E.J. was his name.
Well, E.J., you're a better man than I.....
