Get Some Miles In!!

Putting on an event like the Sprint and Standard Tri's at Bucklers over the weekend makes a huge dent in your energy levels!! The stress of the week leading into the race weekend along with the hard physical and mental work involved mean that no meaningful training gets done over a 10 day period. With SwashBuckler coming up in less than a fortnight and then ForestMan three weeks later that leaves only a couple of 3 - 5 day "windows" to crack on and do some longer rides and kayaks and swims. So it's off to Exmoor for a couple of very hilly rides over the next ouple of days and Joann has a long paddle on the Hamble planned for Saturday. Thank-you Roger! Roger Burlinson is coming with us on our Epic to film the event. As well as being a great film-maker......see his ForestMan video via our website www,racenewforest.co.uk....he's also loaned Joanne a kayak for training and using up in Scotland. He's also helping with some coaching! Meanwhile up in the very damp Lake District John and Marjorie are managing to get on to the water at least once a week for some kayaking. Routes have been recce'd and they are definitely better prepared than we are. Will be back with an update once we're back from Devon.....rhymes with Heaven for a good reason!! Rich
