Went racing and enjoyed being a division five person now rather than division six but no podium place for me today.
Luckily though I've got the medal for the fastest division 8 female. |

Hmmm, things got lively at training last night .
Sparred twice last night with higher grade/more experienced opponents.
I won my first bout quite quickly due to an error on their part, yay!.
This caused my opponent to become frustrated and try to whack me in the face with his elbow when he thought the no-one was looking .
Luckily I was able to counter his move and it was only a glancing blow.
he was quietly and firmly warned not to try that again!
Apart from that, training was hard work but good
I was puffing and blowing, but recovery times between explosive bouts of exercise are coming down a little bit.
However, this is all relative.
The younger/fitter participants train harder for longer and recover twice as quickly as I do.
But for me , I think there has been a tiny improvement and I am happy with that ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Went training this morning.
Did the usual warm ups and stretching exercises to get the heart pumping and a sweat on.
Then I had my arse handed to me on a plate !
I had three bouts of sparring and lost two and won one.
I think I’ve cracked a rib .
One of my opponents was a fat bastard and he landed right on top of me
Now the adrenaline has worn off, I’m in fggking agony.
Coughing is debilitating and any body movements have to be done very slowly.
Fugk this nonsense, it’s supposed to be fun, not this painful?? ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Going back to training on Wednesday.
This will be the first time since I cracked my ribs (late November).
It’s not going to be easy, but I still have to try
EDIT: well that didn’t go to badly . No broken bits , just a good sweat on .
We all eased into the session/ they were kind to me ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Did a couple of six hour bicycle rides over Christmas which were fun apart from one of them it was raining the entire way and the other one was into a headwind the entire way.
Everything kayaking related is in winter training mode at the moment.
Monday evenings are running doing hill sprints.
Tuesday evenings are circuit training.
Wednesday evenings are paddling.
Need to get back into the habit of going cycling on Thursdays.
Fridays are a day off.
Saturdays are paddling with the main group and then padding with the junior group.
If I can be bothered then I should start going out on Sundays as well.
The race series we do doesn't start until the middle of May and the club monthly 5km time trial isn't happening until the first week in April.
But today I'm off to support the club junior crews racing and I've got to decide which of my coaching sticks to take. |

Tuesday morning bonus kayaking session as it's half term.
Tuesday morning bonus cold swim as we played chicken which ended badly as none of slowed down.
So so cold though, if that missing person Nicola Bulley had fallen into the river whilst wearing heavy clothes then I can definitely see how she could have easily drowned in that situation. The shock of submersion in cold water really does take your breath away, you can't talk to the people in other boats to say that "yeah I'm okay but let me get my breath back before expecting me to talk". |

Come on people, have you all died of laziness or something?
Winter training is no more, went for a nice little cycle ride this afternoon with 2,354 feet of elevation gained. |
