7. Barefoot snow walking and going fast and taking chances with Paul Raymond
Manage episode 353968807 series 3390510
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Paul Raymond, who has taken the helm of OBJ race director in recent years. OBJ, or Oh Be Joy is one of the ultra classic kayaking creek runs in Colorado, replete with steep slides and waterfalls. He shares the history of the iconic event and how he found himself taking an active role in the race. As a bonus story, he shares his tips and tricks for how you can combine your Wim Hof cold therapy practice with a casual day of kayaking - it's easier than you might think.

2:11 Catching up with Paul
10:58 Solo adventures in Gore Canyon
36:55 OBJ race history: origin story
52:40 OBJ race: reboot
1:11:38 OBJ race: safety
