Paddling race 40:00 [4]
My first race - I put in 40 minutes as a time, cuz I really don't know what time I had....I'll update once I know. In the last ten minutes of the race I was paddling with various combinations of having one eye open, the other squinting, both eyes closed, both squinting as I paddled into the sun and sweat was dripping into my eyes. Sheesh. I had ditched my sunglasses when they were fogging up in the first half of the race.
My back was a big factor in the paddle and I was having some 'issues' with comfort. The soccering I did yesterday flared my low back up and my left leg radicular symptoms became quite the nuisance. However...I think I was first and last place in my division ;-)
