At the end of another busy day (they're all busy these days), I made it down to the river for a 40-minute session in the K1. I paddled steady and felt pretty solid in the boat. I timed myself from the monorail bridge to the Hernando DeSoto Bridge--the course I'd like to break two minutes on one day--and finished in 2:07. I felt like I was flying for the first 30 or 40 meters, but then as I settled into a lower stroke rate I started thinking about my balance too much and my stroke quality suffered.
At least the weather was nice: we're having several days of idyllic weather, with low humidity and temperatures in the low 80s Fahrenheit. It's not at all what we Mid Southerners are used to in August.
