Event: Paddle Bash
Paddling race (paddle bash) 33:34 5.5 km (9.8 kph)
ahr:174 max:182 shoes: Custom Kayaks Mentor
Installed my new and greatly improved sturdy footplate today. It worked very well and changed how the boat felt significantly.
The fast boys left at the start as usual so I got on the tail of Karen and kept close, closing out Paul who was on my left and eying the spot.
2k's in, a guy in a Mako Mil passed us. I tagged onto him, hoping to get a break from Karen and Paul. But this guy was quick, real quick and the mongrel was looking back to see if I was still there, trying to lose me i thought. I barely kept with him until he, out of the blue, just turns around. It appears he wasn't even in the race. Shite, I'm out here on my own, with the other two probably tagging onto me!
Round the bottom marker and downwind back to chidley point. I think I gained here when I went out wide to the right to take advantage of the greater wind and waves. Just missed out on using the boat wash from 3 boats that came by 1 minute too late.
Fatigue started at 4k. Had to really concentrate to keep up the pace and technique. Tried to catch a few boat wake waves here and there. Seemed to work as Paul wasn't there, neither was Karen and Bronwyn was the nearest competitor 30s behind.
Pretty stoked with the time, with my stability too. Only missed 3 or 4 strokes during the whole paddle. Amazed at the HR result. I was above 90% for 30 minutes. Doesn't seem right, but did the Anaconda MTB leg with most of it above 90%. Maybe I am a hummingbird after all.
