I am going to put one of the yaks in the water this afternoon and see how the arm is. Swelling is down.
I sure do want to make the race this weekend.
I will know more after tonight.

The wrap seems to hurt more than it helps,this is on the top side of my arm a couple inches above my wrist.

Start slow. Build up if it feels ok. Stop if it doesn't. There will be other races.

[bowgarguide]

I will start slow,and I think I am going to take a single blade as a backup.
Ron

After an injury, don't over do it.

Don't push it, Ron. There'll be other races, but you only got 1 arm--well--two I guess....

[bowgarguide]

9/26/09--Trinity River Challenge. 11.8 miles--5.9 miles upriver and 5.9 miles downriver. That's my next and last race for the year. I've never been there. Suppose to be a flat water speed race. No obstructions or portages. Should be interesting. I will be in the "veteran" solo, sea kayak class.

Ron,

Sorry to hear that. I know you were looking forward to it. Why not take Gerald's advice and do the Trinity River Race? You should be fully recovered by then.

Good luck on the race. I expect you to win the "Over the Hill" category.

Also, Pam and I are considering a run down the San Marcos next Saturday. Love to have you along.
