Back on the water today, feeling better..but still a nagging cough. It is hard to motivate when Molo is out, and then nothing big till Surfski champs in Sept. So we have decided to go to the Round Bowen Island race in Vancouver. Its a race we have never done, so that’s exciting. Pat and I did a lido lap time trial. We have been doing these for about 15 years. Its 3.85 km around an island in Newport Bay.

I used the Elite and he grabbed an old millennium. Tide was low and coming in and the wind was slight but from the side up and back. I managed one of my fastest times on a ski 19:22. last year I was close to breaking 19. I still compare these times to all my K1 times and the year after the Olympics my faster ever in a K1 was 17:32. Oh the good ole days..ha.
