I am a late forties kayak racer. My goal is to compete at the World Masters Games in Turin, Italy in 2013. I will be racing in ICF sprint kayaks. This blog will be my training diary for the next 4 yrs. I use a variety of running, weights, and cross training to hopefully become a better kayaker.

Swim Cut Short Today

I had to cut my swim time down to 23 minutes today. My right calf muscle was tighten up so much that I stopped kicking with that leg half way through my swim. This all stems from not stretching before yesterday's morning run. I have been paying for it ever since.

So it was extra time in the hot tub, and lots and lots of stretching. Maybe a vast quantity of Tiger balm as well. I guess that will teach me to stretch before working out.
