Another bus ride into the city - I'm having to get provisions, chat with friends on the net, update the site to let you know what is going on etc.
I've been invited to do some training locally and look forward to doing something else but paddle the kayak. Thing is I have no gear at all. no spare t-shirt, gi bottoms or anything else. I'm sure we'll manage perfectly fine in Bermudas and loud Hawaiian shirt. After all tomorrow it will be back to this little routine I've found helpful in completing my task:
6:00 am Get up/breakfast/wash
7:00 am Packing / breaking camp
8:00 am Depart and paddle
10:30 am Break
11:00 am Second round of paddling
12:30 pm lunch
1:30 pm Paddling
3:30 pm On a good day I might already have arrive at my intended destination.
If I didn't get away on time in the morning (which happens more frequently then not), the weather is bad, or I'm doing more than fifty Ks I have a break and swim for half an hour and carry on after till I get to where I am supposed to be.
If you fancy any of the above please put your name down for next year when we'll have a look at the Nile. Only kidding, am I ;)?
Finally, I'd like to extent my best wishes to another great mate of mine who has been and is the best of friends and great inspiration for my training and who unfortunately will be undergoing surgery very soon:
Paul - Best wishes for a successful op and the speediest of recoveries!
Ganbatte kudasai!
