Last year I signed up to do a Roxy Fitness event in Huntington Beach, California, which was one of the most fun events I’ve been to in a long time. I’ve always wanted to do a type of triathlon and this was similar to that but so much more fun since it wasn’t all about competing. It was more about just being together (it was an all-girls event) and having a good time while being active. For this Roxy event you could sign up for just one of the events, two or all three! I signed up for all three which included stand-up paddle boarding a 1K out in the ocean, running a 5K (about half of which was run on the sand) and finished with yoga on the beach.
For the paddle-boarding section, we paddled out into the open ocean, went around a buoy and paddled back into shore. Rental paddle boards were available for free (I had to sign up for a rental with my registration) or if you have your own paddle board, you can bring that! I had such a great time paddling! I had only paddle-boarded in the harbor and not in the open ocean yet so it was a real workout and so fun. (Photos below).
The 5K run started out on the beach (running in the sand is amazing and also more of a workout). We then ran back towards the sidewalk and finished on the sand again. (Photo below).
The Roxy event was finished with yoga on the beach which had such a great vibe and was a great way to cool down a little after all running and paddling. (Photo below of the awesome yoga towel we all got).
Roxy holds these events all over the world so check their website to see if they’re holding a Run SUP Yoga event near you! I would love to do one again soon.
Here you can get an idea of how far down the trails go into the canyon.
The hoodoos stretch as far as the eye can see in Bryce.
This tree looked like it was standing on its tippy toes!
The clouds were amazing in Capitol Reef.
In my second outfit, I wore the same belt, Lokai bracelets, moon necklace, silver ring and one of my Patti Jo rings. I swapped out my other turquoise rings for one white stone ring and traded my white shorts for high-waisted blue jean shorts (both from Elison Rd). I paired an adorable white t-shirt (with one tiny red rose on it) that I got from one of my other favorite boutiques, Pürre (located in Costa Mesa). I finished this more simple outfit with my favorite burgundy Vans.
I came across this amazing retro VW Bus and it went perfectly with my 70’s inspired outfit!
I had so much fun doing this little mini photoshoot! I have always loved fashion and putting together outfits, especially vintage clothes and clothes from my favorite small businesses/boutiques. Of course, I took more photos of the gorgeous landscape, plant and animal life in Joshua Tree included in my next blog post!
