Spring's first paddle

We were back on  the water today! Now I should point out it was 3 degrees Celsius at noon in Halifax, so who knows how cold it was out on Lake Banook! All I know is at one point during our practice Albert said we'd be doing a five minute piece, two minutes hard, one minute active rest and another two minutes hard. All I could think was "dude, I don't know that I have 5 STROKES in me, let alone 5 minutes!!!" Yes, I was paying for not doing any winter training, but the biggest problem I had was I honestly couldn't feel my bottom arm for most of the practice. It took me at least 30 minutes standing in the shower to begin to warm up. All that aside, the first day on the water is always awesome. Now I hope I can follow through with my plans for the summer (it's all about finding a job so I can afford it!).

Sugs out.
