First Two Season Openers Fall On Same Weekend


Looks like we're in for a busy weekend come April 17&18,2010......The Jock River Race has been formally set for April 17 and The Raisin River Race will get under way the day after.....Although we have never before participated in either race, it sounds like the Jock will be a good warm up (12kms) for the Raisin (30kms).
Mike is having to juggle his work schedule again to accommodate both weekend races. We may even have to race back to Ottawa immediately following the Jock to help celebrate Mike's son's birthday.....
We are hoping to put the canoe in the water sometime prior to the Jock as we need all the training we can get prior to any competition.....
Only 69 days to go......Time to start some serious training...Mike has the Paddle One machine in Ottawa with him but he injured his hand a week ago and will have to wait for it to mend.......I spend 1-2 hours a day on the treadmill which I find gives me a good workout......Only time will tell.......
