Kokatat Gore-Tex Paclite Paddling Jacket - Unisex
The Paclite Paddling Jacket is the perfect shell for kayakers who want the waterproof, breathable comfort of Gore-Tex but don't need the technicality of an expedition-level jacket. This jacket is extremely light and ultra-packable. A competition-cut underarm panel and the no-flair, no hood, functional fit make the Paddling Jacket an ace at shorter-range tours or a quick loop on the bay. It comes equipped with splash closures geared for more moderate paddling scenarios and patterning that provides a more relaxed fit than Kokatat's more technical gear. A zippered sleeve pocket with key lanyard and reflective piping ensures you'll never be stuck calling a locksmith from the pull-out.

Gore-TEx paddling jacket
I've been using this jacket for those windy wet days when I windsurf in cool/cold water. It keeps me dry while giving me freedom of motion with both arms. The long sleeves not only protect from the sun and water but also permit me to use a short sleeve wetsuit thus eliminating the constriction that comes with a long sleeve wetsuit and permits my arms to last a bit longer when sailing. If I had my choice I'd make the jacket with a neoprene panel in front to give more protection from the cool spray encountered while sailing in waves. The jacket serves my purposes very well, however.

Training Tips
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
Buy running gear made with performance fabrics - Supplex, Coolmax, Lycra, Goretex - that allow for full range of motion.
