“Humans thrive on reward for success by achieving the goals we set out for ourselves. If you never set goals then you can never achieve success. Learn to enjoy racing. Race your Garmin, race your mate, and race the local ferry – even race the setting sun! Make your paddling enjoyable by coming out of every session with some sort of outcome, good or bad. If you’re on flat-water, mark out a 500m, 1000m and 10km course. Time yourself over these distances continuously. Set your time goals and then do it!”
