Chris Thomas sits down with veteran ultramarathon paddle racer, Trey Reaves, out of Florence, Alabama who just became the first ever overall back-to-back winner of the Alabama 650 as a solo racer. Trey’s performance in the ultra paddling racing world has been a real tour de force over the last several years with no signs of slowing down. We start off with his entry into the ultra racing world and even though he DNF’d in his first Alabama 650 he describes how the paddling community came out of the woodwork to encourage and inspire him to keep coming back for more. We cover so much in this episode from the advice to new paddlers entering the sport, the mental aspect of training and racing, early career learnings that have led to his success, his views on the future growth of the sport, and future paddling goals. There’s so much to this episode with one of the top ultra paddle racers in the world, but I’ll let you hear it all from Trey himself in this 5th episode of the Dabbling In Paddleism Podcast… -Trey's IG: @treyreaves -Trey's Facebook: www.facebook.com/share/15jaXyUWhh/?mibextid=wwXlfr -Stellar Kayaks: https://stellarkayaksusa.com/
