With arms spinning like the roadrunner’s legs on the old cartoons of wyle coyote and roadrunner. That’s how I paddled the challenge. And now I have arms like chicken legs. without the feathers – all goose pimply and boney. Speaking of boney, my butt is raw too. For those of us bird-brained enough to do both races, maybe some year we can have the two races a week apart or something. I was so wasted my lovely bride just laughed at how worthless I was for anything constructive.
I would do it again in a heartbeat.
