You rode it for a half hour with the rear brakes engaged?? Do you know what you were doing to your belt??

Hate to say it, but the brakes operate like a clutch, and they will be able to tell if it has been submerged in water. But the problem wont be your brakes, as that is an easy fix.

Your belt is probably what is going to be a bit worn out after you trying to ride it.
