One.
Nick is able to rent a paddleboard from REI for free, so of course we took it out for a test spin.
We invited two of our friends, C & J, out to try it out with us.
I'm impressed at how not too difficult it was. We went to a quiet lake and I think next time we're definitely taking it out on the bay. It'll be much more fun/intense!
Two.
Saturday was spent exploring the awesome area of Fairhaven (in Bellingham) and cheering on my husband while he was racing in the Bellingham Traverse on team REI.
The transition/trade-off!
The Bellingham Traverse is a 5-part relay race consisting of road running, mountain biking, road biking, trail running, and kayaking. Nick competed in the kayak portion of the race. It was a lot of fun to watch! I love race atmospheres!
Afterwards the whole team has to run to a local brewery and there is much celebrating (as well as prizes) at said brewery.
Overall, we had a pretty fun weekend. Minus the fact that Nick destroyed me when we played Monopoly.

ReplyDeleteOooh paddleboarding looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWe took a P-Board lesson in Hawaii this summer. We really enjoyed it. That race looks like one that is down here in Bend: Pull, Pedal, Paddle. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't get your button to show up. It is just a blank box. So I just linked it to your blog.
ReplyDeleteI so want to go Kayaking sometime... and I saw paddle boats all over Hawaii last fall. Looks like a blast but I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough :)
