Get a load of this old relic. 25 years ago this was a cutting-edge slalom-racing design. Now it's just my old beat-up slalom boat that I hadn't paddled for six years before last Tuesday.
I was worried about how my ailing left arm and shoulder would respond to whitewater-style paddle strokes, and it turns out I was right to be. The pain in my shoulder/biceps area worsened, and I did something to my forearm as well.
I'd been flirting with the idea of getting back on some whitewater soon, but that plan is now on hold. It's discouraging not to be able to do something that for most of my life felt as natural as could be.
