Spring Break 1

Wicked week of training! Everyone has been training super hard, maybe a little too hard to be racing. We started off with a three day Lactic block that made even the toughest athletes whimper. Halves and a Full-On lactic session per day was punishing. This also included core and weights so that three a day workouts never seemed to end.

This weekend was the Rich Weiss Memorial Race. Alberta had 9 athletes competing, roughly half the attendees. After our hard week it was a challenging course that Kurt set for us to navigate. Added to the low water, it took everyone's best head to get down the course. This was a nice warm up for Senior Trials in five weeks and Junior Trials in 9 weeks.

A big thanks to the ever generous volunteers in Chilliwack.

Now we are back with our noses to the grindstone for one more week. This week we are upping the pace a bit and reducing the load.

We are 11 in the house. Cooking has been going pretty well, though the clean up is a challenge. We are still finding easter eggs from our epic hunt, and likely they will keep finding them all summer.

Happy paddling!
