Hey DC's

The only forum I've ever read was in Penthouse, so this is a bit of a change reading about guys working out.
I will try and log in my training sessions from now on.

Cheers

Workout - Sat 16/01/10

Went out for a kayak with the boys from Rose Bay to the red pin near South Head and back. Found it hard to keep up with the boys.

It hurt heading out after an intense Friday night dragonboat session. Didn't sleep well all night, my body was still buzzing from the dragonboat training.

Body was fatigued heading back into Rose Bay.

Always enjoy a paddle in the harbour.

Crashed out for 4 hours in the arvo.

Feeling more fit and stronger now.

Todays Workout - Sat 23/01/10

Went out for a kayak with the boys (Ningus, Ryan, Louman, Pinky, Keifa) & Bev. Conditions were extremely hot (30 degrees plus at 8am) and windy from the west.

Went from Rose Bay to sailing club (to pickup Pinky) to Shark Island to Bradleys Head past Taronga Zoo to Robertson Head, this was all into a big head wind and choppy conditions. Then headed back to Rose Bay with tail wind. Finished at 10am (37 degrees). According to Loumans GPS - 9km.

Felt better than last week, able to put in faster stroke rate and stronger rips over longer periods.

Resting up in the air con for the rest of the day, ready for Sundays DB training.


Yesterdays Workout - Fri 22/01/10

Dragonboat Session - Sat in Row 8.
Felt very flat all day at work and at training. Need more sleep and rest.

The boat felt good during transitions and crate work .

Tue 2/02/10 - Indoor Cricket. Won by one run and I hit the winning runs... woohoo...

Wed 3/02/10 - DB training. Sat in middle of boat. My body was still sore from Mondays gym session and the 40/20 was hard work. But I was able to maintain a strong rip all the way through the crate work. The boat felt really good for the last 2 of the 3 races we did. Like the change up in training programme, good stuff Ryan.

Thu 4/02/10 - Rest day

Fri 5/02/10 - Land training followed by DB training. Stroked with Ningus. I found it hard to maintain a fast rate (not sure if we reached the 75 rating) and couldn't put in a strong rip. Felt a bit cramped up in seat 2 and was bumping into Ningus a lot. I wasn't able to maintain good technique for the 40/20. The crate work allowed me to get the technique back and maintain a strong rip which was good.

Wed 17/02/10 - DB training. Good starting with 2 races to simulate what happens on the first heat on race day. Both races felt controlled and was able to maintain power to the end.
