We've all put a good week of training in (as of next week, we'll start sharing details of our regime for anyone interested), so we're having a fairly easy weekend through both necessity and planning (it's one month to go and the next month is going to be killer!).
First off, this weekend marks Pete's birthday. So he'll be spending most of Friday and Saturday dressed as a sexually-confused pirate and being ejected from ladies' homes/clubs/bars etc.
Also, Dubai Sound City is on, so I'll be gigging, drinking and dancing like a dad at a wedding all weekend.
However, we are making a start on our kayak training. We'll be doing an hour or two on both Friday and Saturday (those days are the weekend in the Arab world) down in Dubai Marina, thanks (hopefully) to Nautica1992 at the Habtoor Grand - double kayak just aed50 an hour!
Kayaking's tough and in the comp we'll need to be in the boats for around 4-8hrs a pop, two days on the bounce. So, we'll just be concentrating on getting in sync with the rhythm, strengthening up our shoulders a bit, getting used to paddling for hour after hour after hour and finding a way to be comfortable in the kayak for that long too.
The aim, over the next four weekends, is to build up to the point where we can do 4-5 hour training sessions int he kayak without too much pause...that should be enough to see us through the main event. Should.
