Should be fun and offer me some cross training. I also wanted it so my brother can get some exercise and follow me around on competitions and practice swims. We have a family cabin on a local lake (Allatoona) so it only made sense for me to get one.
Got a great deal on a 2008 model ($599)!:applaud:

So I did another 1hr 45 minutes today out on the lake (after doing weights/core at the gym for 2 hours!). I paddled further than yesterday, probably 5-6 miles. I'm now whipped!
But saw lots of cool wildlife on the lake today. A large school of fish (not sure what, I wasn't quite close enough) feeding on something...shad probably. It was like something you'd see in the ocean. Wild! I'd never seen that on this local lake before. Also so several Ospreys as they have lots of platforms set up around the lake for them and their chicks. Then just tons of fish jumping...for bugs, other fish, whatever.
The trip back to our cabin was a killer as the wind picked up, gusting to 20 MPH, with the scattered showers rolling in. BIG difference paddling into the wind and waves!
