Back again after a busy last week of school

Kids at Junior lifeguards now, so back on the ski. Nice hard one with Rich, Pat and Christina the other day. 5,3,1 X 3. Usually this is pretty easy with good rythmn, but this day was a killer. Then next day Pat and I went 12 km double..just steady with some tempo changes.

solo today

10 km steady at 70%, every 3' , 6 strokes at Max. Kinda boring, but my shoulders are feeling it now.

Best group yet

Me, Pat, Eva, Rich, Paul, KC, Clilff...2 x 2000m and 2 x 1000m..What a crowd on the sprint course. Great to see soooo many skis out there on a Monday morning. I guess no one has jobs? 3 firefighters, 1 Quantas airline employee, 1 investment guy, 1 unemployed (so fit from training not working) and me....kids at school!

doubles

A couple of GREAT double work outs. Friday Cliff and Rich and Pat and I did 5 x 7' pieces. No real swell, but some fun. Too hard to keep up with those boys.
then Saturday..Noah and Christina and Pat and I..did some switch aroos with skis and partners..small swell and some wind..out to the stick through the surf (Noah went feet first?). Great stuff. I am sore and tired, but doubles make you work so hard and its loads more fun with someone. Getting ready for surfski champs...dust off the double skis!!

Dee !
The Elite Double ROCKS !!
It is by far the BEST double ski I have ever used.
It feels just like a single Elite, except even more stable and solid.
Plus you got two people hammering away !
