Sun sets on '09 race season


One last trip around Carmel Bay with Jones on Sunday afternoon, and now the boards are bagged and tarped just in time for the first big rain of winter, scheduled for... tonight. Paddleboard season is OVER. It was a great race season, best ever. The highlights...

~ The Jay Moriarity Race in Santa Cruz, 12 miles, always a good scene with the SC bros
~ The 1st Annual Dolphin Race in Carmel, 9 miles... and now we have our own race scene
~ Crossing the Carmel Bay Marine Canyon with the boys and champ Kanesa Duncan
~ Paddling out to Point Lobos with whales and orcas in view
~ The Fall Classic, my first 22 miler, AND breaking it in under 5 hours... barely

Couldn't have done it without Mike Jones, best training partner ever. And couldn't have done it without Marie Muscolino, best support team/girlfriend ever.
