slept:4.0 shoes: K2 - Prowler
66km kayak race on the Murray River from Yarrawonga to Cobram. Good lead up race for the Murray Marathon in 4 weeks. Paddled the first 25km pretty hard to hold off two other K2s that had started with us and were only doing the first leg (soft). Paddled the rest at a fairly good steady pace and missed out on line honours by less than 5 minutes, spewing. Felt really good paddling wise, however all three contact points (hands, heels and butt) didn't fair quite so well. More conditioning required.
