Pre-race tuning

I've spent the week getting some rest and trying to get sharp for Saturday's race.  Tomorrow I plan to do a short paddle in the harbor before loading the boat and heading for the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

On Tuesday I paddled for 60 minutes and did six 12-stroke sprints.  This morning I was feeling lethargic and spent a long time on the dock stretching and doing some rubber band exercises ("pre-hab" for my shoulder) before I finally got in my boat to paddle.  Once on the water I paddled for 40 minutes and did another six 12-stroke sprints.

I should have plenty of competition on Saturday and I hope to paddle up to the starting line as prepared as I can be.
