Kayak: Lake 1:00:00 [1]
ISK Kayak Skills Pool Session
Brooklyn Center Community Center
28.0 °C;
My first session with ISK (Inland Sea Kayakers) Have been feeling a little queasy about my self and assisted rescue skills with all the paddling I'm doing and decided I need to do something about it. I also finished reading my Xmas present from Joel, Deep Trouble, a book about Sea Kayaking accidents in the Pacific NW, which is a scary book. Not surprised that the number one cause of death in sea kayaking is hypothermia related, that is certainly a big issue in the Lake Superior. Anyway, I joined Inland Sea Kayakers (ISK). Got a nice welcome email almost immediately with a plan of what I need to do, including attending pool sessions and to start working on my BCU three star assessment, whatever that is. Went to their pool sessions today and promptly learned how to do the cowboy self rescue, doing it several times. Next time I go I will start working on rolling. It's pretty cool, they have one guy just standing in the water who works with whomever wants to work on something.

Highland Skijoring Mellie Roux 1 Lap. Roux was rambunctious, unfortunately not it the right way. Tried to play with poor old Mellie instead of focusing on pulling. Oh well, this was our cool-down lap.

Highland Skijoring Roux 2 Laps
8:19 AM; Highland 9 Hole
-17.8 °C; Clear
Decided to turn things around so Roux would not need to pull Mellie during his first lap. The two of us started alone, leaving Mellie in the car, picking her up for one more lap. He wasn't totally into it, I can understand with temps hovering around -18 °C, we still did OK, averaging just over 12 minutes per lap. One big difference between Mellie and Roux is that Roux loves running downhill, he even starts sprinting when he is super tired. Mellie on the other hand is very uncomfortable going downhill. We started as the groomer was completing his second pass of three. Much appreciated to have someone out in this cold, what a resource. Other than the cold, it was a gorgeous morning with bright sunshine. One skier was just finishing up, two more were just starting, all classic. we had the skate lane to ourselves throughout.
