The Kayak Leg

Ski to Sea was upon us again!

Here is what the kayak leg looks like, first you wait. Which was great this past Sunday, but don't be deceived, there has been years where Shawn had to endure some nasty, cold winds. This year, waiting was not a problem at all, it was a pleasure!

All of a sudden you hear your team's number and off you go . . .

. . . and then you paddle like crazy!
Oops! That was the wrong kayaker, this one coming up is Shawn.
Really, can you tell the difference?

After you paddled for about an hour and your legs are completely numb, you are supposed to run up a beach. There is a reason while you will do anything in your power to get up, even if you need to crawl. You get to ring the bell!! Your team has finished!!

But wait! The challenge is not over. You still need to carry your kayak through a sea of people and strap your boat on you car!
