Yesterday morning, thought I might be having a heart attack while I was driving the kids to school. Turned out I just pulled my left pec… reaching over to buckle my kid into her carseat in the backseat. LOL
man, it freaked me out cause it was pain right above my heart. I had daymares of passing out behind the wheel. the fear & anxiety was real- I really thought that was gonna be my time! But I dropped the kids off at school, pulled the car over, called my dad (who's had heart issues recently) and I realized I had no other symptoms besides the muscle pain, which lasted all day.
This morning, my left pec still a little sore but not as bad as yesterday. To appease wife, I saw the doctor today: everything’s fine, EKG was normal. She said it was probably from doing dumbbell chest flys at the gym a couple days ago- TBF it has been awhile since I’ve done more than bodyweight HIIT workouts.
Anyway, thank Bethany & Jeebus that it wasn’t serious! Getting old is the worst.
Today = 1st day of the rest of my life! Carpe Diem n chit. I had a midday window so I figured I'd get wet even tho it looked windy and marginal at a couple spots. Only one dude out at reef3 with some onshore wedges on the draining tide. Thought I spied some corners so I paddled out on 6'0 Mandala eggy channeled twin.
Most waves you couldn't really make it around the first section, so I tried to be picky, and every 5th wave or so, would line up a bit more: kinda sectiony ledgy lil WH lefts that would stand up enough to for 2-4 backside hits / wraps. Almost all the hooks felt really good- IMO that's the most fun turn on these channeled twins (this and plasmic)- good whip with juuust enough hold.
Other guy was a non-factor, kinda going right into closeouts or sitting at the next peak down. Got a few of those funner lefts, then my feet started touching reef while sitting in the lineup and boils were sucking hard, and reef popping up on the inside. Waited for decent one that broke wide enough to avoid the rocks and went in.
