Weak....

Having been training for way too long. I woke up this morning aching all over.
Argh. Degenerating.

Guess Who's Back?

I stopped training after the Round Ubin Kayak Race held in early November and have not done any training what so ever until today. Damn tired after paddling 3 triangles which is less than 15km. Took me about 1hr 47min to paddle 13.5km. Pathetic.
My left shoulder felt stiff during the first round with some ratcheting sensation but that soon went away after abit of paddling. My right forearm however, ached alot. Couldnt make a final burst at the end. Was quite bad.. My forearm was solid as a rock, might be due to gripping the paddle too tightly.

Need to get my groove again. 1.5months without training. Not a good thing.

Ouch.

Will be putting my solo sunrise paddle on hold. I sprained my back and neck on Sunday and it still hurts a little. There's also gonna be a cycling training and we're doing a round island which would be at least 100km.
Dont want to over exert myself and make things worse, so I've decided to postpone the solo sunrise :(

4 Star Sea

Heard there's gonna be a 4 Star course from 14th-17th Feb next year. Too bad its just before my exams. Will have to give it a miss. School just sucks. The exams always clash with something.

If anyone is interested, contact Water-Venture (Changi). Heard the cost is $580.

Solo Sunrise

Read some of Wai Meng's posts on twodegreesnorth regarding a dawn paddle. Sounds interesting. Intend to try it out in December.
Tentatively, I've set the date for Wednesday, the 10th of Dec. Will take bus 82 to Punggol end at 6am and do a solo round Ubin from there.

Chance Meeting

Was shocked to see David Wong in the trainer's room at Water-Venture Kallang. He took over Stanley's 2 Star course.
Haven't seen him in quite a long time...

Stiff

My shoulders are stiff and hurt a little. Had some discomfort while conducting a 1 Star course on Sunday.
Maybe Im not suited for marathons? Will give it one more go at the Singapore Canoe Marathon in January. Probably go back to leisure paddling afterwards. The trainings are just taking up too much of my time. Havent even got the chance to use my Feathercraft for a long distance journey yet.
