My trip to Jackson has been postponed until later in the week. But it nevertheless felt good this morning to have gotten the long paddle out of the way yesterday. I went downtown and paddled pretty easy for 60 minutes.
I checked the Internet radar before I left the house, and it seemed certain that I'd be getting rained on. But the rain held off until after I'd finished paddling. A shower moved in as I was driving home.
On a day like today, when I'm giving my body a break from the stress of long, hard, fast paddling, I focus more of my attention on the technical aspects. I try to make each stroke a really good one: I look for a nice clean catch, full rotation of my torso from the hips up, and a state of relaxation that lets all the relevant muscles from my shoulders down through my legs fire in unison.
Just in case anybody's curious about this trip down to Jackson: I have found a buyer for the K1 I've had up for sale. He's in Louisiana, and we've agreed to meet at Jackson to close the deal.
