Moving into a race week

I got in two 60-minute paddling sessions this weekend: yesterday afternoon in the K1 and this morning in the surf ski.  This morning there was a barge rig coming upriver just as I was coming out of the harbor and onto the Mississippi, so I went out and got some sweet rides on its wake.

On my registration form for this Saturday's race, I declared that I would be racing in the surf ski, and I should probably stick to that plan.  While I am considerably more comfortable in the K1 now than I was when I got it, I'm not sure I'm really ready to compete in it.  But maybe I'll throw it on the car and take it down there, just in case the lake is extra-calm and I'm feeling extra-bold...
