Shoulder news is a seperated Ac or Al.....didn't catch the term exactly..can recover if not a tear. So rest, Ice and Advil. Ok. I can do that. Feels better today, just stiff neck and back from favoring it. No lifting above my head or paddling this week at all. Pat [...]

2 kids left at home and 1 went with Patrick in the car...SF here we come!!

Pat and I did a quick 5km then spent all day loading the trailer for San Francisco. What a lot of work when the container arrives..yikes...I'm tired. Now my ski is gone, so maybe a run and a swim before the racing starts.

Paddled with Eva this am..10 x 1' on 1' 80% for feeling..great warm up... Home to wait for container news and Dawid and Nikki Mocke.

All we had time for the other day was a good warm up and our lido lap time trial...3.85km. 100% for time. Pats working on busting 18min and I am going for 19min..today it was a no go for either of us and I only managed 19:05 and he was [...]

Stated off with 3 minute pieces...Harkers Double and Eva and De singles. Billy poured on the power at piece number 4 and cracked his paddle...they limped in and Eva and I took off around the loop in the ocean. Well done Eva....Then the Harkers headed to San Diego where they [...]

Great day on the water with 3 mixed doubles...De and Pat, Tracy and Billy, Noah and Eva and Steve...19.5 km broken up in 5 and 3 mintue pieces. We paddled out to meet the outriggers racing back from Catalina.

Pat, me, Paul from OZ and Woody..10 x 2' rest 1' .....flat out.

Double ski with Pat and then Steve on single..hammered to Newport Pier and back..22.5 km... time 1 hour 46 mintues. Really hard!

Yesterday a good hard one with 2 x lido(3.8 km island)..Pat trying to break Noahs awesome time..missed it by 10 seconds. Today was a killer with 15 x 1' on 1' off. 90-100%. Good warm up and cool down.

Pat and I got our dusty double ski out to ready for surfski champs. Steve Woods pushed us the whole way (I like to think we pushed him, but not sure, he did right the wake more than not). Anyway we hammered each other with 2 x 4 KM flat [...]

Pat, Correy, Steve, Paul from Australia and me...15 km into the headwind and then side wind and back with a really nice downwind. Max speed for me was 20.5 km..not bad for outside of Newport Harbor..Yea!!

Another successful demo day...and did my 8.5km time trial(Wille Lap) before everyone showed up...all alone, but hard stuff against the current and always a stinking head wind. And even yesterday got in a lido lap with Eva between kid pick ups and drop off.....
