Paddle (Stellar SR) 1:23:12 [3] 5.7 mi (14:36 / mi)
ahr:124 max:137
5 min warm up
3 min race pace, 2 min recovery, repeat.
Practiced my remount afterward, and I figured it out this time. The videos helped, but I didn't realize until I was out there that my problem was that I was rushing it and not getting my hips up onto the ski before trying to flip around to put my butt in the seat. I also saw the local tri club hanging out afterward and stopped to chat with them. There's definitely some interest in AR by multiple parties there. Next time, I'll get in gear and get out of work early enough to hang out with them for a while.
