Paddle (River) 1:02:00 [3] 9.0 km (6:53 / km)
ahr:129 max:166 shoes: PRS
First paddle in new PRS with Jacko from the Narrows around Herrison island and back.
This thing slices through the water where the Endorfinn would bounce over it.
I nearly had an early dip when I realized how well this boat turns compared to the Endorfinn, very responsive. Another panic moment when I felt a few thuds on the surf rudder, then it clicked that I was just slicing up some jellyfish.
We were both feeling a bit under the weather this morning, adding a few phlegm jellyfish to the river as we went. A combination of Jacko feeling lethargic and myself in the PRS resulted in something not heard very often...
Jacko saying slow down.
Felt great to be in the new boat, looking forward to spending the coming week down at Mandurah on holidays on the water every day and really getting comfortable with paddling it.

Orienteering race (MetrO Series) 25:32 [3] 4.55 km (5:37 / km)
ahr:161 max:175
Once again I got caught up in the start and took off faster than I would have liked. Still feeling a bit dodgy but managed to run quite smoothly, I really liked the short trail running section for a nice change from the streets.
No major mistakes today, died a bit near the end when I should have at least tried to pass the two runners in front of me but just accepted my place and plodded along. Turns out those two runners just in front came 2nd and 3rd, Doh!
Off for a nice relaxing week at Mandurah now, hopefully will come back refreshed and ready to take on the Lake Gwelup course.
