2012: The Summer without Water
So dry, I haven't been whitewater kayaking in weeks. WEEKS! Can you believe that?
I thought I could manage without water. I turned to mountain biking, climbing, ultimate frisbee. Anything I could do to keep myself busy while the rivers dried up, I did. I even started running. You know, the "sport" you play where no one ever wins and you end up back where you started...
Anyways, I did enter a SUP race last weekend at Mountainman's first annual(?) SUP festival. I placed 3rd, which was also last in the Men's division. The guy who won it had never been on a SUP before, and the guy that got 2nd was at least two decades older than me. Great ego boost...
If we don't get significant rain soon, a new horror film may be in the works.

In the meantime, enjoy my spring recap edit!
