Practice kicked my butt today. I sit on the right side of the boat and the paddle has to be tight against the side, like scraping the side of the boat with each stroke. So of course, my arm has also been scraping the side with each stroke! I will be using a tensor bandage on it tomorrow because it gets so red and irritated. I just took these pictures now, 2 hours after the end of practice. It doesn't come out quite as red in the pictures. It still hurts to have anything touching it!
Now I just hope I don't get a tan with one bandaged forearm
