September 28, 2004 -- Frederick, MD
Training is going well in the DC Area. Geoff and I have been working with juniors
and adults in our areas trying to promote Wildwater. Geoff is close to DC and I am
an hour away in Frederick. We have built some interest now and we like to increase
the numbers by next spring. By conditioning them for racing, our goal is to get them
ready for the Tohickon Wildwater Classic. I did various time trials in the Frederick
area from Jug Bridge to Pinecliff Park on the Monocacy River in the last couple of
months. Here are the times:
| Friday, Sept. 24 -- Gauge at 2.0 feet at Jug Bridge |
| Coach Bob | 8:43 min. |
| Ross | 9:12 min. |
| Sunday Sept 26 -- Gauge at 1.85 feet at Jug Bridge |
| Coach Bob | 9:17 min. |
| Callum | 9:29 min. |
| Pat Kingman | 10:46 min. |
| Previous times at 1.85 feet (Aug. 19, 2004) |
| Lisa | 10:05 min. |
| Ryan - Polo Boat | 11:08 min. |
| Ross | 9:35 min. |
| Sean | 9:36 min. |
| Coach Bob - C1 | 8:51 min. |
Next time we will increase the distance to 3 miles and time to 20 min. so we can
begin building the endurance and get ready for the Tohickon Race on Nov. 6 & 7.
I am looking at 2 workouts a week on Friday nights at 5 pm. at Pinecliff Park on
Monocacy and Sunday afternoon at 3 pm at Anglers on the Potomac. We will either
paddle up Mather Gorge if the water is low or paddle down to Caderock. I am looking
for those interested in learning to race Wildwater.
