Paddle 2:02:33 [3] 14.2 km (8:38 / km)
shoes: Endorfinn
Had wanted to do a 2hr paddle this weekend and leaving Mundaring Weir pub at 3.30pm it didnt seem likely that it was going to happen, but Wal tricked me into going by saying that it would be easier than getting up tomorrow.
Started out in the fading daylight from Kent st jetty and paddled the same route as last week hugging the west bank upriver to Point Resolution. It was dark pretty much the whole return trip but not too hard to keep track of where I was - I would have had issues in unfamiliar water though.
Paddle was pretty pleasant and relaxing apart from tightness in my hip and a painful shoulder for the last 30mins.
My hip had been really, really tight all week from last weeks paddle and only eased off after yesterdays MTBing. It tightening up again pretty much straight after I launched and nothing I changed helped it. Must figure it out soon as I could barely stand/sit/walk/lie by the time I got home and only got some relief when Wal gave me some elbow massage torture.
Hmmm, just figured out why I had big scary hard to see boats heading straight for me when I cut the corner from Freshies to Chidley point...
