Beach Walk #216 – Breakfast With Champions!

Lucky me, I'm walking the beach with two outrigger canoe champions as we talk about women and sports. It's not always pretty.

So I met Mindy Clark through videoblogging. I had no idea she was a 10-time Na Wahine O Ke Kai Champion with the well-known Offshore Canoe Club of California! She didn't race this year, but her protegé Julie did, helping her crew take 1st place in the Masters Division. (And a previous overall 1st place as well!)

Mindy and Julie exuded a wonderful open-hearted energy, which surprised me a bit, until I thought more about it. When a person truly is successful at something, they can relax into their kind selves and leave behind the bickering that occurs so often "on the way to the top." I couldn't find a Hawaiian word for "catty." That made me feel good. Make no mistake these women are tough competitors though.
