Training, Training and more Training

Another session done with the lovely Sam at www.pttroop.com and yet more aching to come! This kayaking malarchy is hard work, but it's going to be so worth it. That is what I hold onto when the aches really set in.

It makes me smile to think of the wonderful things we will (fingers crossed) get to experience. Hopefully we will get to see dolphins, basking sharks, seals and a whole host of sea birds. It's the right time of year for such things and long daylight hours give us maximum time on the water. Unfortunately June can bring some strong winds, so I can forsee some hard paddling to be done. That's a scary thought.

Sometimes the fear feels like it's going to swallow me whole. That's when I call Dan and we have a big old chat, a giggle and we sort it all out.
Don't be fooled, there may just be one kayak but this project is a team effort. We lean on each other, motivate each other and comfort each other when doubt creeps in. The team is made up of lots of people, not all of them directly involved but important none the less. If that's one thing I have learnt through all this build up and preparation, it's that the relationships we build with others are a source of strength and should not be underestimated.
