| Canoeing 50:00 [2] | |
| Up the Winnipesaukee River from the end of Water St to just below the dam, then back down. Working pretty hard on the first part.
AOWN - a good sized beaver (being chased by a kid, yelling "Hey Ma! a beaver. I'm gonna catch 'im!" A heron by the edge of the river by the bandstand. Lot's of ducks and Canada geese. Also lots of folks fishing. Just as I was putting the canoe back on the car, a nice lightning strike across the lake, followed fairly shortly by the heavens opening... A good mental break after watching the grandkids for most of the day - 4 hours by myself. Lots of fun, but it can wear you out. | ||
Tuesday May 29 | ||
| Run intervals (trails) 8:30 [5] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Assail Trail | ||
| Ahern
7 x 100-pace sprints along the bike trail loop by the power lines. Tried to keep up the turnover rate. Was fading at the end on the last couple, expecially when I'd hit the uphill sections. Lots of wild flowers out - bird-on-the-wing and some star flowers, also the small white clusters (can never remember what they're called). | ||
| Run warm up/down (trails) 25:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Nike Air Assail Trail | ||
| Around the Ahern circle trail and to and from the side bike loop.
A few mosquitoes out, enough motivation to keep moving at a reasonable pace. | ||
Monday May 28 | ||
| Hiking 4:00:00 [2] ** 13.1 km (18:19 / km) +750m 14:15 / km | |
| shoes: Merrill Hikers | ||
| Up Chocorua with Jon. Bolles trail to Beeline, links with brook trail, then Liberty to the sunmmit. Down via Liberty trail. Great weather, enough breeze to keep the bugs at bay. It turned into a stiff wind up on the summit, but it felt great.

| Kayaking 1:20:00 [2] | |
| On Merrimack River in Concord. Put in at the Everett Arena ramp and headed up stream. Working against the current - seemed to be less near the shore. Checked out several oxbows, found where Mill Brook comes into the river.
Saw lots of wildlife - a very large beaver came dashing down the shore and belly flopped in just ahead of me. A heron was hanging out just below the beaver dam on Mill Brook. Saw a couple of eagles working the river. Watched a woodchuck swim across a section of the oxbow. A few box turtles also... Area has some possibilities for a canoe-O - need to chelk out the topo maps/ aerial photos and see how many other smaller lakes I missed. | ||
| Orienteering (vetting) 2:20:00 [2] *** 10 km (14:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Falcon spikes 2007 | ||
| Vetting control locations for this fall's Boulder Dash. A beautiful day - enough breeze to keep the black flies and mosquitos at bay, except in the thickest parts.
Also checked out proposed White and Yellow courses - it's going to be a tough area. A lot of cleared areas, which means brambles, and other nasty stuff underfoot. They've also recently taken a brushhog through under the power lines, so there was lots of short sharp stumps to trip and impale oneself on. Hard to gauge what it will look like in early fall. | ||
