March 2021
So the weather has slowly been improving and certainly outdoor
sports are getting less grim as the snow has receded to the high peaks. Again C-19 rules have kept us all local but
at least there is light in the tunnel.
March saw me get out for a short or medium walk probably every second day to keep the limbs moving plus a regular kettlebell class on a Monday+Friday to keep the core muscles in trim.
Boating and biking continue to improve with ten MTB rides and six boat sessions. Biking was all centred on the Aboyne trails (Master Blaster, Chutney Nudger, Oh Deer, Scooby Do, etc) but good exercise if only in shortish bursts. Ground is pretty wet still and there was quite a lot of tree litter to stop & clear each time. Messing about in the GT, river high again
Sea boat 10k on the loch |
The boat stuff was mainly training laps in either the Sting (slalom boat on the Dee in Aboyne) or my Pace 17 (on Loch Kinord, Dinnet) – could do with some real whitewater.
