Training - Sunday 23rd Aug - Sat 29th Aug 09

Probably the best week so far

Sunday- Nothing. Mags still on call

Monday - Cycled Short Bays. Felt rather tired. Dipped out of paddling in pm as so knackered

Tuesday - Hilly run. Short but 400+m of climbing in 7km (twice round cave route)

Wednesday - 1:15 kayak on Avon (really strong NWer on estuary). Paddled club eclipse 5.2. Poor boat upstream IMO but ok downstream. Very stable

Thursday - 1:30 on Avon (NW on estuary again). Back to my own boat and paddled about 11km then tried a couple of other paddles out. Tired at end as used 210 blade (Zastera Z1). Surprised that even with this tiny blade my SPM didn't improve.

Friday - Easy 1:20 on Avon with Simon

Saturday - Long Bays with John Mc. and a group of his mates. 75km with ave 26.7km/hr. Found it just as hard as the other week especially the hills between Gebbies and Governor's Bay.
