paddle 1:33:00 [3] 13.5 km (6:53 / km)
shoes: Spirit PRS plastic
After a few very slack days where evenings spent exercising the thumbs reduced motivation for early morning training sessions, I was back into it this am with another paddle. No issues other than a very low tide and heaps of weed. Near Garrett Rd bridge I was dragging through weed out in the middle of the river. Crazy. Saw Evo on his way into the carpark as I was leaving.

cycle 2:18:57 [3] 67.61 km (2:03 / km)
shoes: Avanti Blade
Freeway South to Mt Henry, around the river to Freo, back up the coast. Pretty windy and hard work for the first half in particular. Awesome fum from Freo home.
tried riding with Dad's bike shoes to see if they felt very different / helped me to relax my left foot whilst riding. A few aches in different spots. Probably better overall, but also probably need to be adjusted a bit to get everything where it shoud be.
Yellow Powerade tastes so much better than orange Gatorade it's ridiculous...

paddle 1:29:45 [3] 13.5 km (6:39 / km)
shoes: Spirit PRS plastic
Lazy day yesterday - I guess there's some room for that on holidays, but back on the horse today.
Banks Reserve-Garret Rd Bridge returning via canal. (I'd call it the usual, but my paddling has been so sporadic there's no such thing)
Pretty still when I started at 12:30, sea-breeze came in, making the return journey (47 min) somewhat harder than the way out (42 min)
A few weird feelings returned today - stability and confidence. Don't know where they came from, but I wasn't complaining. Through the waterski area both ways no trouble at all. The only downside was that I had gone in to the paddle dtermined to practice my brace strokes and never needed them :(
Was even slightly enjoyable at times. Would have been more so if my hands and forearms hadn't been tired from MTB on the weekend (yes, I know I'm not meant to hang on to the handlebars that tight)
First paddle on this ski without falling off since the first time I paddled it. A few more of those and I might even get it out on the ocean this summer...
