I don’t know what’s harder going SOLO or a 3 MAN TEAM. With SOLO you’ve done the training, you get so Mentally and physically focused so you can compete at a fast steady pace so you can do a personal best time. With TEAMS you only have to be half as fit but you paddle at 110% because you don’t want to let your TEAM MATES down. So I know TEAMS are more brutal than going SOLO, but TEAMS are way more fun than SOLO.
I'm hope for a Top 2 Finish.

I’d like to thank all the other ten 3 MAN SUP TEAMS for giving us great competition - it was BULK FUN. There was even a few girls in some of those 3 MAN SUP TEAMS. Never ever take any pity on or under estimate any of those water women sheilas they are weapons and have smashed many a guys egos.
Until the next Molokai 2 Oahu Race - happy training and I’ll see you all again next year.
