13 km again
D, Pat (yea!) and Barry Borm...30' 75% to the ocean, then 4' pieces (again) to walk across. Maybe I can do 4' pieces across the Molokai Channel, seems that's all I am all doing lately. Back on my M6, hacking up greenies from my cough. GO away!

HOT!
D, Noah and Silvio 13 km
4' pieces to bell buoy and back..flat like normal..but HOT weather....
Noah you are ready! Molokai !!!

Mako Elite…very nice!
D alone, 10 km steady on the New Mako Elite....I sold my brand new, out of the container, yellow Mako 6 on Sunday, so I WILL be picking out a Mako Elite to fill that rack.

Hi Ian:
Mako 6 or Xt..depends on the weather..If its wild like the state champs day, I'm better off on the XT..if its flatish, then M6. My new elite is staying home smile.

DeAnne,
Hope all the trianing is going well. Have you decided which ski you will be using at Molokai?

I bet you…

Rest is good right?
After a week of travel recovery,a few runs, a lesson, a demo day, the container arrival and unloading, I now have a chest cold. Nifty. I should be doing 30km every other day and some intervals. Once the trailer is fully packed and sent to the harbor for the Hawaii rentals........ON AGAIN.

Container Day
Today no training, but lots of lifting and sorting. Danica was a big help.

Hawaii State Champs..a shocker for me
OPS News item image
28 km roughest conditions I have ever been in..single or double....
not the biggest swell ever, but roughest rebounding chop off Rabbitt Island and Makapu Point....after which surfing(25km winds) the good stuff was tough after getting hammered in the 1st hour.
The Hawaiians are awesome in these conditions. I sucked in them, But I am happy to have finished..and not last.

Considering how rough the conditions were that day with two of the top OC-1 guys losing their canoes, I think anyone who completed that long course did awesome and for non-locals not having the privilege of training in these waters, its just even more credit…

Hawaii Kai run
D, Ian and Tom
Light trade winds..10-15 knts.
beautiful little runs, fun easy day, small swell,
12km, 1 hour....nice

another 10 km
No wind, just like home,chip chop 10 km around Waimanalo and Makapu....rainy and warm...winds predicted to pick up later in the week.
5km easy trying to catch every little bump and work it, 5km hard return..average speed for last 5km, 12.5km.

best 10km ever
After days of frustration...best paddle ever. 10 km total in and out through the surf at the point off Kailua..wind has died so no one was sure where or when to paddle..
But there was surf and so the work out was ins and outs..sprint out through the surf to the back line and catch the biggest wave back in.....max speed 22 km/hour
ave speed 12.5 km/hour..turquoise blue water, turtles..awesome!

missed the race in Hawaii..
ok, all set to race on Sunday, the Oahu Champs... Pat even went and registered me and ..baby fussy and had to be held from 6am, boys needed breakfast, couldn't get the ski ready..seat pads, hydration..gonna miss the start, gave up and went to the beach instead..sometimes you just gotta say, no way. Ok...try again.

Makai pier run..hawaii
D, Zsolt, Tom, Sean
about 13 km down wind woohoo..blowing 15 knts..pumping ocean..now that is Molokai training.

am easy, pm time trial
Am..alone again...naturally..isn't that a song? ok 15km steady in the bay, every 5' up for 15 seconds max....no stopping...boring. I think I woke up around the back side of Balboa...
PM..yes sir..5km time trial
11 people this time..its growing....
25:18..12 seconds faster, but more fun with some wakes and crashes, fishing lines and rowing 8s running into people.
Patrick still not paddling..time keeper instead.
