Last night the team went out on the lake to do a light interval workout. Dan called it his “pre-race” workout. Last week, Jason Quagliata told me that he didn’t think I was getting my paddle in enough at the catch, so I brought my video camera along. I also wanted to try out my new bright green paddle tape job, and my new little doo-dad for the camelbak hose to keep it where I can reach it without pausing in my paddling.
As you can see from this video, the bright green looks good (and it feels good too), my doo-dad was pretty much a failure, and I aimed the camera too high for me to really see my catch. Oh well.

Oh, and I’m still not opening my left hand very well on the forward push. And is it just my imagination, or am I paddling at a lower angle during the fast parts?
