Fall
« on: September 09, 2010, 05:44:03 PM »
Man, I am not ready for fall yet. It's 53 degrees out right now and going into the 40's tonight.. Good thing I bought a new wetsuit this spring..It almost makes me depressed thinking that I'm going to have to winterize my boat in the not to distant future.

I dropped mine at the marina for winter storage on Monday...I already miss her and am longing for spring.  I am looking forward to a full season with her next year though, and hopefully getting a boom on her to teach my girls to ski and mess around with a little barefooting myself.

Thinking ahead - does anyone have any strength training routines they do to get ready to barefoot in the spring?

I don't know about barefooting but I can tell you that this winter and early spring's routine got me more prepared for slalom this year than anything ever (and I'm not getting any younger). On MWF I do kettlebells of which you can find lots of videos on youtube.  I also throw in a lot of abs and obliques (tons of bridges) as well as push-ups.   

On Tuesday and Thursday I put a safety harness on and pull two tires (one with a rim) through the grass or snow.  Sometimes I do a run/walk/run/walk...... Sometimes just brisk walk with no stopping. I might throw in a tire toss, drag to the tire, toss, drag...and so on.  Remember the one Rocky movie??

Water temp has dropped some due to the cold evenings and some colder days.  It's going to be in the high 70's through the week and of course I'm busy.  Can't ski until Saturday when highs drop back to low 60's.

Heck no. I'll break out the wetsuit for the next month. Seasons too short here in Wisco to not own a wetsuit. I typically winterize near the end of October and put the boat in storage November 1st.

Nice. Do you work from home or just really close?

My buddy works from home on Conneaut Lake from May to the end of October.  My office is 5 minutes from that lake.
