Hi Jed - Yes, it happened on the trip from Rye Harbor. I was bringing up the rear on the way up, and returned a bit earlier than everyone else, with 2 others (paddling sweep). The day (week?) before, I had taken a Greenland lesson, and spent a lot of time lying on my right side in the water attempting a static brace. In hindsight, I think this may have pre- (dis)stressed my right side to injury. The problem only became clear during the return trip -- I didn't know *in the moment* that I was injuring myself. If I had thought of it, I might have said something about slowing down, as you suggest. But I didn't think of it -- I saw the speed issue as an interesting challenge, and a chance to experiment with my stroke. Live and learn. Soon I'll be 46, and I'm *still* trying to get this "slow and gradual" concept..... Perhaps I'll see you on the water some calm day! I can't do wind right now.
