I've had a hard time busting out of my post-Columbia-Gorge funk. After the week of hard training and racing out there, I ought to be feeling fit and ready to go get 'em. Instead, I'm just feeling... old. The aches and pains I listed in my previous post are a big part of the reason.
But I've pulled myself together enough to sign up for a race this weekend: the Ohio River Paddlefest up at Cincinnati. I'm hoping that a good showing there will rekindle my enthusiasm.
On Tuesday I did an easy loop of the harbor with Joe. Today I went down and paddled for 60 minutes, doing six 12-stroke sprints at two-minute intervals in the middle of it. I do at least seem to have a decent top gear.
We'll see how it goes this weekend. I hope some racing will be what the doctor ordered.
