Won my first race!
« on: July 25, 2018, 10:16:26 AM »
I won my first SUP race on Saturday! 

https://www.clevelandmetroparks.com/parks/programs-events/2018/or/july/whiskey-island-paddlefest

It was only a 2 miler... and in Cleveland... and the 6 mile guys were doing all 3 of their laps faster than I did my one lap... and a 60 year old woman finished in front of me... but still, I won my first race!  I took over 5 minutes off of my time from last year.

Was lots of fun, would have been fun even if I didn't podium, but it was fun to be up there.

Congrats on your win. Always having "fun" makes for a good feeling, but having fun and also winning, winning is really the added bonus to that fun feeling because it is an accomplishment.

BTW, thanks for sharing your picture.

It's cool feeling. I've only won recreational class races, but that was nice.
