Not a big Deal

"Close only counts with grenades and boozakas" This was said by Mike today to me. We were doing a technique session and I was unable to get a certain move and thats what he said. Then something clicked. Im not sure if it was just from an amount of frustration or if today was the day I came around the big bend in the learning curve. At the the top of the course for third runs I just told myself "Alright, Its all or nothin bud. Get your ass in gear" So I increased my normal pace a bit and it allowed to me get around things more. I was worried that by the bottom of the course I was going to be to tired to perfrom as well on the 4th run (and I was having a bit of difficulties with my shoulder yesterday". After the third run I was sitting on the conveyor belt feeling pretty proud of myself and I said to myself, faster. I really opened it up this run. Im talkin balls to the walls. I was paddleing like a bat outta hell. I was givenr' the onion. I was kayaking. It was the greatest feeling. I was .01 seconds off of having the best time on one of the short courses. And I wasn't paddleing with girls either. I have not felt so good in a while. But with hardwork comes consequences. My shoulder hurts now. I have 11 hours until my next session though. Rest Ice Compression Elevation.
