Training Log Archive: Ifor

Loop around northern bit of Austvagoy. did not start till about 3pm as had been raining in the morning but had eventualy dried up although I had a heavy shower half way though and put on cag and overtrousers but took them off. About 15km of slow road initaly gravel then half layed tarmac waiting for the top coat so a very rough surface indead. Pushed quite hard after taking may cag off when back on the main road towards the end.

Loop around the south west peninsula of Andoya island. had been a butifull morning although very windy but was clouding over by the time I started still a lot warmer than recently short sleaved top on. Starting to drizzle by the end but just got in befor the worst of it. Pushed fairly hard as only planning the short loop and the wind was a big effect although it swung around so where I expected it with me right at the end it was back against. Had about 8km of gravel on the way out which was unexpected. Got accumpanied by a big eagle for 2 or three km. Not obviously a sea eagle like I have seen a few of may of been imature? or somthing else do they have golden eagles here? Got realy good view at one point as it was only about 20 feet overhead.

Had a little paddle in the intel to Straumsbotn just as the high tide was aproaching there was quite a tidal flow. Wind was blowing strongly against the tide so I put the sail on the kayak and cheated a bit to get back up after going down. Went around a couple of times.

Just guessing at time as computer gave up the gost after 30km. Around a loop on Kvaloy which is the island across from Tromso. Coalder still tights on again. Big squally showers with sleet in them going though but some sun in between stiff breeze. set out just after a shower sat the first one out in a buss stop after 25km but then had to stop to put on cag and overtrousers after 30km when computer did not restart... on and off rain till about 55km where I stoped in another bus shelter for lunch. Dry on the way back from there and the sun even came out and dried the road. Just as well as I realy started to strugel for the last 20km.

Out and back from on the edge of kjosen to nord Lenangan. Colder still put my tights on under my three quarter length bib bottoms also gloves and buff gog on for the return some showers. There is fresh snow visable below the cloud on the hills. Very flat outing but quite a breaze so espocialy easy into the turn around and hard for the first hour back not so bad at end as changed to a cross wind. Legs better for a days rest but still not flying along would not of done to of done any more today.

Out and back to Oksfjord from the end of the fjord. a 4km tunnel along the route. Overcast but dry. still feeling fairly knackerd but a relativly flat ride. pushed a bit on the return trying to push the average speed up a little bit. Chased a pair of raindear for 2km they are as bad as sheep but go faster... Saw a bloke out on rollerskis he was doing quite a long session as past him going and comming back may of been doing the same sort of distance as I did.
