2011 Big Bear PaddleFest was an outstanding weekend of fun on the water capped off by a tough 20k kayak race around the lake. I managed to finish 2nd Overall thanks to the Seda Glider that North Shore Trading Company hooked me up with for the race. That thing was fast! Ted Devito from Mountain Fitness Center was too fast for me though and managed to finish about 3 minutes in the lead. The new venue for PaddleFest was perfect. Great spot right on the water that's close to the center of town. And with Swim Beach being right there the crowd was huge.Next up in the Conquer the Bear series of races is the Endure the Bear 30K trail run. This is going to be a tough race as both the guys in front of me are very fast. Lots of time between now and then to get some practice in on the trails. Check out a couple pics from PaddleFest and start training for the run!
