Training Log Archive: Bash

Paddled around Island Lake with 'Bent and Mrs. L-D, my teammate for Storm The Ten. The water is really low, so we had to be careful not to fling weeds at each other with our kayak paddles! Mrs. L-D and I traded back and forth between canoe and solo kayak, since we'll be using that kayak in the race. The rudder was finicky, but all went well otherwise. 'Bent was glad to be outside doing something that didn't bother his knee.

Biked to Albion Hills with Mrs. L-D, who was heading home to Bolton. We took a detour for a Tour de Feu behind our place. I did a bit of single and double track at Albion before heading home. It was eerily quiet after the crowds of summer.

'Bent decided that the Hard Core DVD should be possible with his knee injury. It's been gathering dust for the last few months while we've been playing outdoors, and we knew it was going to hurt when we started up our fall training again. Since I'd gone biking and paddling today, I figured that the first 15 minutes would be plenty - so as a result, I only exercised 2 of my 186 core muscles. That's OK - Caron's classes start up this week, so I can't avoid the pain for much longer.
