Easter Paddle

Happy Easter!

The lake was just amazing yesterday morning, the water was like glass and it really felt like it was summer (a few of us brave souls wore shorts to practice). I was planning on wearing just a t-shirt but the wind picked up a bit (paddling in a thick hoodie, isn’t really smart but at least I was warm) After practice we had a paddling intro for anyone who wanted to learn how to paddle. One of my teammates was helping me take pictures when I was on the water.

Yesterday was a lot of fun, now only if this nice weather would stay around. I’d LOVE to start working on my paddlers (farmers) tan.

What? Race day is in how many days…

Good Morning!

It didn’t hit me until yesterday when I was booking my next massage into my calendar, that my team’s first race of the season is truly in a month time (April 28). This regatta is a great one for the beginning of the season as the race course is only 200 meters long, as not everyone is able to do a 500 meter race just like that.

I do have to say it’s been a slow start to our 2012 season as mother nature hasn’t being playing nice and it hasn’t help that a few people are away over the spring break, which means we haven’t had a lot of on the water practices. Though a lot of us have been cross training in outrigger so we can get at least some water time, but it’s not the same as practicing in a dragon boat that your gonna be racing in. Outrigger is a lot higher up off the water and has a different stroke. Plus I’m also at the gym/on the treadmill at home every day I’m not on the water.

I just heart that quote!

Do you modified your training because of the weather?
