I have re-evaluated my jogging efforts. Though I will put in an effort most days, I will be foregoing these efforts with additional canoeing and kayaking.
Put in a nice 4.6 mile canoe on Thursday. You can easily go about 10-15% faster than kayaking with the same effort. Of course we have the Hoyt Clagwell models.
On Saturday, I portaged the kayak .45 miles into Flying Eagle Preserve and put into the airboat paths. About 1 mile into it 4 passed me coming towards me. Not a problem. At about 2-3 miles the water was only a few inches high and I slogged through there for about a mile. Didn’t pass any more airboats. At 4 miles the water gets good and opens up. By 5 miles you are in Church Lake which was busy with activity. Soon you are back in less traveled waters. It was noon and about 90F. At about 9.8 miles I reached Sandpiper road. I portaged over that no problem. However because of the work going on there I had to try hard to get through the thick water growth. Once over, I was in familiar water and was home with 11.4 miles covered in 5:03. This would be easier in the cooler months. Glad I stuck with the kayak.
Finished the week with 40.3 miles of jogging and walking. I catch up with Wayne several times a week. He walks the same short block over and over and I enjoy our conversation.
