There's apparently a storm front heading this way, and the wind was picking up out on the river today. So I stayed in the harbor and paddled very easy for 40 minutes as a recovery from yesterday.
One might argue in favor of not paddling at all on a recovery day--that way, you'd really get some rest. But I'm a believer in an active recovery. I think getting some blood flowing through my paddling-specific muscles helps repair whatever damage the workout did to them. And as I've said numerous times in this blog, paddling is a technical sport and one can never get too much in-the-boat stroke practice.
