Training Day #33

Luckily, today I have the day off of work/school! So my wife, Maggie, planned a date to go kayaking down the Cape Fear River in North Carolina. My daughter still has school today, so it is perfect to have some alone time while enjoying the Great Outdoors. On my original schedule, I had a rest day today. However, I’m used this as my bike ride that is scheduled for tomorrow.

Of course, I didn’t charge my Garmin watch last night. So it died about 17 minutes after we started. But I was able to start Strava on my phone to get the rest of it. About 30 minutes was unaccounted for due to my lag in getting my Strava started. It has been a few years since we have been kayaking due to living in the desert for the last six years. So there were some lessons learned. First, wear sandals or water shoes. Of course, I took some old shoes but should have worn my Chocos. Second, the night before, pack my camelback and supplies (i.e., sunscreen) to ensure a fluid transition from the car to the river!

Key Takeaways:

  1. Wear sandals or water shoes!
  2. Pack a kayaking bag of essentials the night prior!
