Made it to Whitehorse!! Sylvia traveled relatively well, but it's kinda a workout just keeping such an active squirmer contained for the flights!!! our AirBnB in down town Whitehorse is super cute. A walk around town yesterday gave us a bit of a feel for the place and holy moly does the Yukon River really book it - it's carrying a lot of water at quite a high speed, impressive!

Canoe to road and back, solo.

Right quad still sore from long run, so took it easy instead of intervals.

Canoe paddle with Tom and Steph and Dad during first nap (Mom nap-babysat), really nice with low wind. Then lots of chasing baby around this non-babyproof house, three different beach outings and a leisurely swim with Steph to Goode's rock and back.

Nice row around Haverkamp's island and then down around Cherokee island and back. Beautiful low-wind day again and calmer on the lake due to Monday. Hands are a bit blistered, but not too bad. Plus, really can't compare to the approximately 2 square inch blood blister on my right instep that happened during the relay...

Wanted to put in a hardish long effort so NAOC long isn't too much of a shock to the system. This felt pretty great, just kept cruising and was 7:30 avg pace for over 10 miles!

At Lake Kahshe! Sylvia wasn't too sure about letting me leave in the rowing scull, but seemed like she quieted down before I was too far away. Later in the day we did take her out in the canoe at least!

Rowed around the island in Deep Bay, amazingly quiet and non-windy.

Travel day. 24h from Riga to cottage. But soooo good to see Sylvia and Tom again!!
