I decided to stop paddling at 16km today, instead of completing the 24km. My failed attempt to hold my stroke and glide past an oncoming C1 resulted in a capsize and my paddle scartching the deck of the Nelo ML. Turtlewax doesn't seem to work well to cover the scratch. Anyway, I decided to stop paddling because it started feeling more painful than enjoyable. Simple as that. As ironic as it is, ever since I made the claim to Shumin yesterday morning that my butt didn't hurt from paddling, I've had an achy/pain left butt ever since, resulting in me being unable to kick on the left side. Feels bruised, or maybe torn.

Hmm, my IA will commence on Monday, and life will become a bit different bah.
