Comment on Nelo Viper 51 K1 FOR SALE! by Hugo van der Merwe

I concur, a very nice boat! I bought myself a Viper 51 early last year. My river racing boat “back home” is a bit less stable (and doesn’t have an under-hull rudder of course), but for paddling out on a body of water like the Zurichsee, I like something a bit more stable. The Viper 55 is a bit of a barge, very stable, nice for beginners, but once you have experience, the Viper 51 is much better.

Strava automatically distinguishes between moving time and total time, as do some other sites. Thus I find it simpler to just leave the timer running. (Worth considering?)

It’s not a racing league or similar, but do you know the 5-Tage Berglauf-Cup? http://5-tage.berglauf-cup.ch – it’s one week with a race each week day, and top four races go into an overall ranking list. Fun and low key and hard!

On the blood taste when exercising question, I used to only get that when running in the cold, and took to wrapping a light scarf around my nose and mouth during winter which seemed to help.
A couple of web searches yielded these results:
