Staying in paddling shape

At "Gerard's Rocks"

Saturday was Dave's first paddle since November and his first winter paddle ever. After paddling 19.5 km, he felt it. Dean and I, having paddled throughout the winter, fared much better.

We've paddled through the winter but only five times due to the windy weather we've had and then only for a total of 82 kms. There are cross-training benefits to going to the gym and doing strength training and cardio but there's no substitute to putting the paddle in the water for staying in paddling shape. You just have to get out there and do it whenever the weather allows
