My short idyllic break paddling on the Colorado river resulted in a pretty brutal lower back pain episode- and yes I was stupid and kept paddling through it with the help of massive doses of ibuprofen. Advice- don't do that. I am back to normalish now and testing a TRX band system to see if I can get a bit more core strength. Pretty cool this #suspensiontraining system, except whenever I see TRX I think thioredoxin 😂 one of the molecules from my grad student years.
