We're both tucked up in the warm now after a bit of a chilly session down at the club this morning with a session out on the Itchen. Not sure what was coldest though, the paddle or the trip down in Enda's dub :o) lol I mustn't grumble, without it I would never have made it as I have a poorly car again :o(
Today went really well, got some good steady mileage in (6 miles), and our stroke technique was better than it has been, and believe us it dones need some work to get the efficient marathon paddling technique required. Made a change paddling in daylight too, we seem to be spending most of our time in the boat at night, I can hear Fred now, "All god for the DW". Our leaning boat issues seem to be getting much better, although soon as someone mentions anything about picking up the pace, we get a bit carried away and put too much into it and nearly pull the boat over :o) lol you wouldn't believe how well developed our team low brace has got over the weeks and, I guess, months now of training. The boat was moving much more efficiently today, or was everyone else was letting the cold get the better of them and was taking it slower?
Well thats all for today, we'll be out again on Tuesday night, with us both getting some gym work in on Monday ;o) We'll leave you with this picture of what greeted me at 7:30 this morning.
Our glorious chariot, (or chiller), awaits
I heard you both chugging off this morning while i was in bed drinking a cup of tea...you nutty pair ;O)
