The week that was…

Hi all and thanks for visiting;

Highlights this week:

• 3rd time on an ocean kayak
• 1st time falling off the kayak
• 10km ride – and survived!!
• new level or soreness…

Yesterday saw the 3rd time my backside had ever sat on a ocean kayak and the first time I managed to fall into the warm (not) Melbourne bay waters.  I did manage to get back on the boat and finish the training session and although my legs didnt work for a while afterwards it was great to know I could actually have a chance at completing the 13km race in December. The wind was up yesterday which made it tough but I am told that Lorne could be much harder so now is no time to back off the training.

My weeks training this last week was a bit mixed up as usual:

• Monday – basketball
• Tuesday stretch and some Swiss Ball work
• Wednesday – nothing – rest
• Thursday – 2 laps of the ‘tan’ then basketball
• Friday – some Swiss Ball work
• Saturday – 10km kayak session – quick massage that arvo from the great Anna G.
• Sunday – 20km bike ride and stretch

This week will see my testing start with our brilliant Dietitian/Sports Scientist – Emma Morris who will no doubt have something to say about my chocolate intake… This week I am also going to design my weights and Swiss Ball program now that I have an idea what is required for kayaking so Stay Tuned… (sorry) for that next week!!

Have a great week.
