There are two annual sporting events in our little town of Bacalar Mexico. One is kayak and the other a swim “marathon”.
That’s me on the left and my doubles partner Teresa on the right.
My neighbor Teresa and I practiced and completed the 5K (3.2 mile) kayak event in a lovely double borrowed from the event organizer.
Wish it were mine!
The day was overcast and very windy. The best part of participating was finishing.
Finish in 45 minutes.
Turn around.
Coconuts for rehydration. Machete provided.
The lesson learned from this experience is that I will never complete the 30K distance. Some goals are just out of reach. We did however have a great time training. Having fun can be its own reward. The best one actually. DOS TORTAS

Going 5 km is wonderful, and knowing your limits is so very important.
