Last weekend I had planned to go kayaking out on the ocean Saturday and rock climbing up north with some friends Sunday. Unfortunately I came down with a cold instead. Said cold has continued to plague me for the entire rest of the week and is most of why I haven’t updated livejournal, facebook, or several e-mail I was supposed to be sending.

I managed to salvage a little bit of last weekend. We went for a short paddle in the tandem on sunday. The good news is that there is some hope that Tyson and I can train up for the 20 mile ocean race next month. We managed 12 miles in 2.5 hours on flat water. By the end, though, both of us were dead tired.

Previous Blackburn prep.

Next week’s training update.
