I celebrated my 35th birthday today by paddling across Lake Tahoe. Something like 20.5mi from South Lake to Kings Beach - I started at 3am and was done by 8:30. Pretty awesome adventure to watch lightning over the north end of the lake through the night - pretty peaceful to just paddle away all night.
I’ve always kind of hated birthdays - I don’t like feeling older (especially as I near middle age!) and presents have always made me deeply uncomfortable. If I needed something then I’d already have it, so if I don’t have it then I obviously don’t need it... slightly circular reasoning but it does keep me unencumbered.
The only kind of birthday presents that feel comfortable with are donations to the @honnoldfoundation - at least that all goes to supporting solar projects around the world, something that actually matters. So if you’re willing or able, check out the link in bio and support the work...
(Also, I’ve been posting paddling pics because I’ve been mostly training in a home garage - my outdoor time right now is mostly MTB or paddling... maybe I’ll get into training pics but they hardly compare to sunrise on the lake...)

If you'd like to, you can make a gift to the Honnold Foundation here: www.honnoldfoundation.org/donate
