Paddleboarding

Dennis hooked us up with some paddle boards for a bit of cross training yesterday afternoon.  I hear it is warm out in the Midwest right now but I dressed for paddling the same as I dress for skiing in the middle of winter.

I need to work more on my balance. In the first 20 minutes I took a step back and walked off the board. The cold water made me really work on my ankle angle to make sure I didn't get wet again.
