Things
at Kenmore-Cascade Canoe and Kayak club have been productive and busy the past couple of weeks. My
friend Spike Kane returned from his travels and has since joined me for the
daily training sessions. Last week I went 4 straight training sessions of
working hard without dumping the boat over. I was so excited about not
swimming! I told Spike I was so happy to have him paddling with me and he was
my good luck charm.
The next training session (without Spike) was meant to be
timed runs on the course at Green Lake… and unfortunately Green Lake got me
again. I took a long cold swim before I reached the finish of my final attempt
at a fast 200m. I was paddling hard and just lost my balance. I’m grateful
there were lots of people there to offer help and support.
This week I have also been training quite
hard and making progress with my technique, but progression for me seems to
bring instability and time in the water. Thankfully it has become less
frequent.
The weather is not supposed to be very
kind come Saturday but I’m hoping to finally get a good time… at least for 1 of
my 3 attempts. This Saturday my good luck
charm friend will be with me, so maybe luck will be on my side J
