Training, Racing, Training

Today, one week after the Blackburn, Tim and Dave Grainger and I did the Double Beaver Course on a very hot day. We had a good clip most of the 13 miles but we really pushed it from the green can to the headland before House on the Rocks. This 3.5 mile section is very challenging at race pace due to the disorganized seas. Hopefully it will not be as jobbly next weekend for the race.

Due to a variety of circumstances I will not be doing the Surfski champs. I must say thinking about that big water does make me anxious. Speaking of big water, we have two summaries of Tom Kerr and Richard Germain accounts on this years Molokai. So stay tuned for that in the next few weeks.

Locally the next races are the Double Beav, then the Nahant Race, Bird Island Challenge, and Jamestown Counter Revolution. Fun filled August for races.
