Canoe racing...say what?

Just got back from my paddle.

I told y'all I was taking a break didn't I?

Well not yet. You just can't quit paddling cold turkey.

The truth is, I have two of my biggest races of the year coming up.  On memorial day, the General Clinton Canoe Regatta which is a 70 mile canoe race from Cooperstown NY, to Bainbridge NY.  I'm racing with my significant other Marc. (i detest the word boyfriend). And then the end of May, the Ausable canoe marathon which is a 120 mile canoe race that starts at 9 at night and goes til approximately 1:00 the next afternoon. Thats the end of July and I'm racing that with one of my idols, Gloria.  So my canoeing hiatus will officially start after Ausable.

But I will be weaning myself off canoeing after the 70 (ie the general clinton, you all gonna be down with the canoeing lingo soon!)

Today was C1. (one person canoe C2 is a two person canoe, K1 is a one person kayak..K2 is... - see you're learning!) I sucked major ..ly.

Thats ok, i had a tough weekend of racing last week, and for some reason this week has just been hard on me all together. You'll have that right? right? I'm not the only one?
