This morning I head out of my 5K run. I get halfway through and I see this group of what looks like young cross country runners preparing to run, warming up looking like they’re getting ready to run a race. So being curious I went over there to see what was going on and walked into the midst of the instructions for a trail run a standup paddleboard race. Well temptation got the better of me. While the course instructions are being given I go in and sign up for the race to try my hand against these young bucks. It was like “Oh look, a race, let’s sign up!” So thinking since these guys are younger than I am my strategy was to stay with the top three during the trail run and pass them on paddleboard. Which everything was going according to plan when we finish the trail run I was in fourth place right there with the first three. However apparently I didn’t take into account how well the younger people paddle board, or how old I am. And not only did I not pass those three in front of me but I got passed by a couple more. Regardless if I had to do it all over again I would. Just next time I would run faster & paddle harder. #runsup #sup #watercolor #180U (at Watercolor, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXiCfGOfr-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
