More than just a midlife-crisis indulgence?

This afternoon I paddled the K1 in the harbor for 60 minutes.  I suffered from a bout of diarrhea, which kept coming and going, intensifying and easing (geez, I hate that), but somehow I gutted out the entire hour-long session.

I've got to say one thing about the K1: even if I never get comfortable enough to race in it, I think it's proving worth the expense because it's given me a purpose this summer.  Now that my biggest races are over, it would be very easy to skip paddling entirely while I deal with all the other crazy things in my life, but my desire to make use of the warm weather for practicing in this tippy boat has gotten me down to the river on a regular basis.
