Since my flight touched down in Memphis last Thursday evening, I've been sluggishly trying to get re-settled at home. When I arrived in South Africa I had things to do right away, and I think that helped me get over the jet lag fairly quickly; here at home I haven't had anything pressing on the schedule, and so my recovery has been slower.
After seven days off the water, I finally made my way down to the riverfront yesterday and paddled for an hour. It was a steady, medium-intensity paddle, and it felt good just to get the blood flowing.
One thing I've done since my return is look through the video footage shot during my camp. I wasn't particularly conscientious about shooting video myself: I took my Go Pro camera out exactly twice: once on a Miller's Run and once during our paddle along the Atlantic side of Cape Town.
I'll share some of that latter video later, but here's an edit of some Miller's Run footage. It includes clips from my camera and clips from Dawid Mocke's:
Whenever you hear yacht rock, you're watching me paddle in a double surfski with Dawid's brother Jasper. That's Jasper in the bow seat and me in the stern.
The video also shows that coaching style of Dawid's that I talked about a couple of posts back.
