Volviendo al agua...

México fue increíble en otoño, sin embargo lesionarme en la ultima semana de mi estancia fue muy duro. Volé a Chile con mucho dolor en las costillas, y al cabo de pocos días me di cuenta de que me perdería el WW Grand Prix en Chile además de pasar los siguientes dos meses sin poderme subir al kayak. Por suerte estuve en casa de mi amigo Pali en Santiago descubriendo la ciudad y recuperando de mi lesión de costilla y tobillo aun del verano.


Mexico last fall was awesome, a really good trip. Unfortunately I got injured on my last week staying there, so I flew to Chile with bruised ribs and not super positive. After a few days in pain I realized I'd be missing the WW Grand Prix in Chile which was happening early December. I was pretty disappointed and sad about it, however the worst part was that I knew I'd have to rest and not kayak for at least the next two months in order to recover from  the injury. 
I stayed at my good friends's Pali in Santiago, discovering the city and doing some PT both for my ribs and still injured ankle from the summer…

Poco a poco empecé a sentirme mejor así que decidí irme para Pucón para pasar las Navidades con los amigos allá. Asados, termas, vídeos y fotos y conducir era my día a día.

También subí al volcán Villarrica (2.850m) algo que me quedó por hacer la primera vez que estuve. Gracias a mi amigo pude ahorrarme los 80US que cuesta y disfrutar de la subida y las buenas vistas desde la cima.

Time went by in Santiago, slightly getting better day after day I decided to head to Pucón just before Christmas to spend a few days with some friends. Termas, asados, shooting video and driving shuttle… that was the daily routine. I also climbed the volcano, the Villarrica (2.840m) with a guide friend of mine so I saved the 80US it costs.



A la semana siguiente de año nuevo empecé a remar de nuevo. Primero en el lago, después en el Liucura con Rodrigo de Kayak Pucón. Me sentí súper mal en el kayak, sin equilibrio ni fuerza y en muy mala forma física después de dos meses sin nada de deporte. Los primeros días en el agua fueron muy buenos, fue como empezar a remar de nuevo… lo hechaba tanto de menos! 


The week after new years I got my boat from a friend and started to paddle. I started at the the lake and then the Liucura with Rodrigo from Kayak Pucón. It was a good place to start, I felt really bad in the boat; out of balance, no power… and pretty out of shape after two months without any physical exercise. The first days boating were great though, it was like starting over again. It was so good to finally seat back in a boat and float down the river again… missed it so much! 



Estaba muy contento de sentarme nuevamente en el kayak y flotar río abajo. Aunque aun tenía dolor sabía que la lesión estaba casi curada y era cuestión de tiempo volver a sentirme bien y coger un poco de forma de nuevo. 



I was super stoked to be back in the water and even if the pain was still there I knew the injury was almost healed and it was just a matter of time to start to feel good in the boat again while getting fit and stronger. 


Después de un par de semanas remando el Trancura y Liucura casi a diario empecé a sentir menos dolor y a notarme mejor en el agua, que estaba bajando muy rápido, así que ya era hora de partir hacia el sur.


I was super fired for the season to come. After a couple weeks paddling the Liucura and Trancura daily I was starting to feel better in the water, which was actually dropping pretty fast, so it was time to leave and migrate south.
