Monday 19th Jan

Today was a good session
Had the occy strap on. Right from the start i could really feel where the pressure was on my paddle, and where i was being inefficient. Also became a lot more stable which allowed me to really slow down my rate.
Once we took that off, I really felt jumpy and even a bit unbalanced, I think my technique was actually a lot better with the occy strap on.
During the portage practise, the get out's were fine, but it took me a long time to figure out how to hold my boat, and my get in's were shocking.
Watched whatshisname do his and decided to copy him, which is to grab it at the front while getting out onto the land, then shifting my hand down the cockpit for the run, and further down again when getting in.
worked well.
