Training has been full on this week with two hours of weights and cardio in the gym each morning and a paddling session of two to four hours most afternoons – yes I am sore all over.
Wednesday had me on the lake for four hours doing battle with 25knots of wind which made life uncomfortable but yes it was a hell of a lot of fun also. I came away feeling that I am close to being fit enough for the event – I am starting to get nervous about it.
Fundraising:
The fundraising has been going really well with it already surpassing my target of $555 – we hit $570 last night. I appreciate every donation – thank you so much. Young Ori – you are a legend.
The image below is what 4 hours of paddling in 25 knots looks like on Hinze Dam. As the wind was coming from the South East I crossed the lake and then hugged the southern shoreline, this gave me some level of protection from the wind. It took 2.5 hours to get to the southern end of the lake and only 1.5 hours to get back to the start point. You can see the long straight stretches on the return trip where I had the wind at my back and surfed my way up the lake (that was a lot of fun).
