I get knocked down, and I get up again...

Week Five has been a truly mixed bag in all honesty! Early doors, and I won't lie, I was feeling pretty confident. Like I was not just getting through my course but succeeding in it. Then, back in kayaking terms, I experienced a metaphorical shove which not only forced me to capsize but fall out of my kayak entirely and into the lake with lead weighted boots, no longer was I gliding along the surface whilst furiously paddling instead I was drowning with no hope of survival. My song fell silent, and instead was replaced by the sound of my own tears. Had it not been for three wonderful ladies, you know who you are, I would've stayed under. But as my title suggests I'm not going down without a fight! I'm back in my kayak, but this time I have a buoyancy aid, you could say an extra thickened layer of skin, and I sincerely hope that this time I will not only keep my head out of the water, but there will be no further risk of drowning.  I've also turned my song up to full volume! Now I've got one hell of a current against me, bordering on a white water passage but I'm determined to get back to the calmer water as soon as possible X
