Calm weekend

I've taken it easy this weekend ahead of my final push toward my goal of being fit and ready to go when I arrive in South Africa in a couple of weeks.

On Friday morning I did an easy 50-minute paddle.  It was still quite warm outside for early January, but I could sense a chill in the air from the north.

It rained overnight, and by yesterday morning the Fahrenheit temperature was in the mid 50s and falling.  It was also overcast and breezy.  I had a funeral to attend, and was happy to have that excuse for a day off from training.

I was back out in the chill today, at any rate.  The temperature was in the low 40s and a brisk north breeze had a bite to it.  But at least the sun was shining.  I did a calm 60-minute paddle to close out these several days of light work.  I've got a couple of more harder periods before I start resting up for the trip.
