Beach Walk #16 - Thoughts on Hard

Paddling in the six-person outrigger canoe frequently presents me with a parallel experience for the rest of life. I've inherited the WASP work ethic which is based on working hard, all the time. Only wimps rest. But in reality as I learned today, we can paddle the hardest when coming off a series of changes that were long, relaxed and easy. We built up the reserve, and we burst through to a new glide. Now that is fun! When I am rested enough, there are few things I enjoy more than a good hard, physical workout. Hard works best when it follows rest.
