whee (:

Just wanted to put it on record that I'm very thankful for my resurgence so far :p I've been paddling and training quite well recently, at the ripe old age of 28 going 29. And it's all thanks to the NTU team. Without them I wouldn't have progressed like this.

At the end of last season, I set a goal for myself for this season. Honestly idk if it will materialise, though I like to think in terms of when it happens ;) But what I know is I have / going to put in the hours and the effort that I can be proud of. It's been a long long time since I've been able to train freely (free (mostly) of schedule commitments, school, injuries (mostly)), and it seems like meeting an old friend again. And also it's been a long while since I have poured myself into something without the certainty of outcome (just got to make the great conspiracy work!).

Time for bed. Rinse and repeat ;)

124km of kayaking this week over 10 sessions. And it didn't feel that much. A couple more kms of canoeing and running, and a solid weights session. Very very thankful that this week could happen. The last time I could train this much and properly was in 2009. Yes, that's 9 years ago.

Most people won't think comparing to 9 years ago is reminiscent to any progress, but for me, it was 2009 where I was in my best paddling condition. This week actually started out as a recovery week after messing up on my intercostals last week (well, two Fridays ago). So for this to happen is a huge bonus.

What is working well for me:
1. Showing up
2. Automating decisions
3. #willitmakemefaster

The last point seems a pretty neat way to live ;)
