saturday afternoon series. taroona.
everything hurt today. sore back, sore legs, sore butt, sore hands, sore arms, sore everything and I'm not really sure why.

But this was the last race of the series so despite the freezing conditions I loaded myself into the car like an old lady and went anyway. I was ok once I started running but sore again after.

Anna only beat me by 30 secs which is probably my best result. I recon route choice was the reason for that rather than improved speed!

1.8 degrees when I started. there was a layer of ice on the boat including in the seat which meant I slipped around when I first got in, but then I stuck tight as the ice stuck to my wetsuit.

still it was nice and sunny and I took a couple of nurafen beforehand so my hand was ok. On Wednesday it was really sore.

marieville to cornelian bay again. strongish headwind on way out. hand a bit sore.

had to be home by 9am so abandoned plans of longer paddle in the huon and did intervals at kingston instead.
8 mins warmup - paddled into Browns river,

2 by 4 x 3 mins with 30 seconds rest. 2 mins rest between 1st and 2nd set. I was paddling up and down the lower stretch of browns river so I could see exactly how much I was fading as the session went on!

Also I paddled past the same fisherman 8 times - I'm sure he was appreciative. He did catch at least one fish though.

Wind is building now so I'm glad I've got my paddle out of the way for the day and also achieved 4 paddles this week. yay!

C • But did you catch a fish in your rudder? 2
