Training Log Archive: 'Bent

I rigged up my superfast recumbent pedal kayak, and spent the morning darting around the other boats, exploring bays, circumnavigating rocks and generally annoying Bash but getting some biking in.

C • 'Bent Kayaking 6

Switched to paddling for the afternoon, and again I tried to get a good workout by darting around here and there.

Short but brisk hike before starting paddling near Killarney.

Paddling in chop with a strong tailwind to our campsite.
See Bash's description of the trip- she's way better at it than I am.

Workout # 2.
The rib's virtually healed now, and I had a pretty good workout.

First lap with Bulletdog and the recovered Thunderdog, who flushed out some turkeys.

Took the hilly red route with the Bulletdog for some intervals to work. Pretty soggy after Katrina (Reminants of hurricaine) visited last night.

Trot home by headlamp with bulletdog.

Wildlife for Bash- we spooked a Great Blue Heron when crossing the bridge. Scared the heck out of Bulletdog.

Biking at Albion.
I did 2 laps of the Tuesday Night race course before they opened it, before Bash and the Gazelle arrived. Tough course- they had the Haute route (the ridge run) and the Green Monster (The toboggan route from SAC winter race 04) in each lap. I tried out the semi-slick I finally found for my small front tire, and it rocked! I made it up the Haute Route both times, which is very rare for me on my long 'Bent bike.

Once Bash, the Gazelle and the Gazette arrived we did some hilly doubletrack in the NorthEast section, and then did some towing practice for RTN. Not as long a ride as we'd hoped as G&G got delayed, but there were plenty of hard hills to ride.

Interval training- this was the "off" part. Bulletdog and I ran through the "car wash"- a trail buried in rain-soaked bushes and leaves.

I think I've finally got the insoles trimmed so the Hardrocks aren't too supportive in the arch.

This was the "on" part of the intevals. Booted it as best I could, given slippery wet trails.
