Oh no fast - 13:30
Last summer when the lake was open and I was able to do paddle time trials a
few times, I did not really go very fast, looking at my GPS records from
December onwards I did not even go under 52 minutes for the 9.6km time trial
last summer. So yesterday arvo I rocked up for the first summer time trial of
the season at the river.
Thinking I had not paddled much over winter and I had not had many sustained efforts of 10km non stop I was expecting I would probably push the pace a bit to do 54 minutes. So imagine my surprise when, after wash riding a slower wash than I should have been paddling for the first few km and then going it alone I ended up doing 50:52 in the time trial.
Sure I am happy to have that sort of speed, however I must admit to being somewhat paniced that now over summer I should in theory get faster most weeks, I really will have to crack my goal of sub 50 soon I suppose. Eeek.
