Awesome Paddle Bad Experience?



Goal today.
Paddle 4-5 miles.
Go as long as possible without stopping.

The conditions weren't great. I didn't think I would achieve my goals, but I was motivated by the higher purpose of my happiness and my performance goals.

Awesome Paddle
I set a PR for time constantly paddling. 1:20 mins!
I went 4.65 miles without stopping, also a PR.
I paddled very well into the wind
A fisherman in mud lake said "What are you doing? You are quite ambitious" Got to love the weird looks you get while Suping
It felt amazing moving one step closer to my goals



Bad experience
15-20 mph into my face winds made for quite some chop
For some reason boaters decided to circle around me adding wake to arguably the worst chop I have paddled in
There were some college kids on Dog island that disturbed my tranquil water zone by constant horn honking, playing rap music, and of course going full speed about 50 feet for me.
When I got back to the dock in my paddle high, I realized someone stole my reefs!
Who steals sandals? I mean my smelly unsocked feet have been breaking those suckers for months. I am sure the size 13's really fit them.

Well I am still happy. Great time on the water. I wasn't fast, but I was consistent. For the kid who stole my reefs, I hope you needed them more than. Now he can know what it's like to walk in my shoes.
