Saturday night was an Interntaional(Aussies still hanging around) Surf Festival in Torrance and I was invited to be part of a womens taplin relay team(surfski, swim, paddleboard). Reece brought his night vison goggles (classic 9 year old) and Hayden brought his fins and never left the water even to watch the race. (classic Hayden won't get out of the water, even at night) Pat was a great boat handler...up and down the big hill. I had a blast paddling at night, in the surf, with flood lights and a crowd cheering...but never ever... ever drink a large Coffee Bean coffee before a race in the dark..jitter bug vertigo and no sleep till 4am....And my jump in starts were bad enough without the caffeine to screw them up even more.
Sunday was paddle easy after no sleep
Monday was a 5km run on the beach
Tuesday was a rest day to recover from all that....
