That's some seriously cold looking water.

Yes the air temp was in the 30's. Both windward legs had some serious windchill but the downwind leg was much warmer. I didn't want to test out the water temp so I played it safe during the downwind section where the waves were larger than I am used to. I am still a newbie, and I have a ton to learn, but, damn it's fun!

Hi Tikimon,
I was behind you the entire race. Before the first turn I pulled up along side and you said you couldn't wait for the down wind. You really pulled away from me in the down wind section as I am new too and I really struggled with the wind waves and was pushed very far from the 3rd turn.
Great photos! thx.

I remember you. No sleeves, weren't you cold?
Good to hear from you, how long have you been paddling? I have been paddling for 3 months and it shows in my race performance. I am a conditioned athlete, running, daily workouts, etc., but paddling provides a whole new challenge.
See you at the next race.,
