Paddling Time Trial

So I have been trying to get out to outrigger canoeing practices through the winter as a way to cross train for Ironman. I hadn't been out in a month due to lots of different factors, but decided to do a 5km time trial in the single boat. I hadn't been in a single boat since November either as I've mostly been in the six man. It's different as you are not as upright and it's a little tippier. The route went from Granville Island, up False Creek to Science World and back. We managed to almost escape the rain, but not quite. As I was coming around the last corner, there was a surprise photographer who snapped this photo of me (thanks Mark).
