Hi CT,
-- Congrats on completing that paddle today! (and for those of you who did not make it, congrats on using good judgment :) We had more than half of the group out there, possibly paddling the Potomac higher than you ever have before. I hope now that the warm feeling has returned you can say that we each got something from it.
Was it hard? Yes. Was it fun? I can't say that it was. Was it a good workout? Almost certainly. We paddled with the double resistance of current and wind, and learned that when a gust hits you, put your head down and paddle with heart. Those long, endurance workouts can be so mentally tough. I saw some tears and heard some curses, but we stuck together and hooted and hollered even more.
I really am super impressed by the mental fortitude that I saw today. You should be proud.
See you guys on Wednesday for forward stroke video and attaining. We have one more Saturday on the Potomac and then will head to the Cheat on April 6th. The Cheat is actually running pretty low right now. We will see what the levels do in 2 weeks. Let me know if you have any feedback.
Best, Ashley
