First race in the bag

Awright!  Raced my first oc1 race the other day… and I chose to do the short course instead.  Ya, ya, ya, i know, i know. But fact was I’d never paddled ten miles straight before so what was the point of trying to do it for the first time on a race day?  I’d probably end up in last place… and that was one of my goals (was to not do that!)  So I did the short course and came up 8th in the open men’s division.  Not bad.  Not too good, but not bad.  Pretty much right in the middle of the pack.  Considering the amount of training (once a week) that I do, it’s what I expected.  But that’s got me going.  Competitive fires are lit.  Time to get my ass in shape and get out in the water.  6 man training starts in a month and a half, so it’s now or never.  Let’s do this!
