I was very grumpy because that situation: I don't like to quit my adventures. While we were driving back to Ribadesella following the road along the river we saw our friends close to the end line. I still wore the swimsuit so I asked Juanjo to stop the Jeep and I quickly jumped into the water to join our friends. At the end, I could finish the last 500 meters by swimming and, although it's not a big deed, at least my humour improved noticeably.
En total, Carlos y los piragüistas tardaron 2 horas 20 minutos en recorrer los 19 kilómetros de Sella. Comparado con las 4 horas 45 minutos que tardamos el año anterior es fácil ver que la corriente iba desbocada esta año. una aventura bonita que nos ha servido como entrenamiento para la que tendremos dentro de poco en el Telemaratón de la EITB. A ver si en ésa tengo más suerte.
Carlos and the kayaks needed 2 hours and 20 minutes to cover 19 kilometers. It's a great record, when compared to the 4 hours and 45 minutes we needed the previous year, and it's easy to understand how fast was the stream. It's been a nice adventure, but I hope I'll be more lucky next time.
