Pincushion Mountain

Endomondo Hiking Workout: "was out hiking 9.00 km in 3h:11m:12s using Endomondo."


Here are some photos from the Hike -- Facebook Album
A wonderful hike up Pincushion Mountain with almost 1000ft of climbing.
This Hike takes you to a view that overlooks Okanagan Lake and also overlooks Peachland.
A fairly tough climb which really tests the fitness and the descent isn't that much easier with it being fairly loose under foot and you really have to watch your footing.

Great Workout today

Wednesday Group Ride with Colleen and Michelle.
This is a great route i would love to do again but as it goes through Native Land, I doubt i would feel safe doing it alone.
Todays ride had a nice head wind which made the climb a little more tougher. Having not ridden decently in almost 3 weeks, the legs weren't feeling all that strong and by the turn around at Apex mountain rd, they were shot.

Endomondo Walking Workout

Endomondo Walking Workout: "was out walking 2.18 km in 27m:00s using Endomondo."

Haven't been out exercising for a little bit now, so today after helping volunteer at the Peachland Triathlon where i was the mounting line transition official, i decided to go for a quick walk. The last time i was out for a decent ride was two weeks ago and i remember feeling quite tired and flat after a few solid weeks of training.

Sumac Ridge to Penticton

Endomondo Cycling Workout: "was out cycling 23.35 km in 51m:00s using Endomondo."

Ride home after work with my heavy backpack. Probably a little bit too heavy as it hurt my shoulders and back after a while. Nice short ride without too much hassle and the fitness is definitely improving. The Hill at the end of Green Ave. was a nice test, with the extra weight it added some extra toughness to the 6% grade.

Todays Ride

Penticton to Summerland

This ride was from Smith and Company Coffee Shop to Summerland along Lakeshore Drive up the 2-3km climb then out back to Penticton via Victoria Rd. It was quite windy today on the ride out which made it a fast ride on the way back.

Peachland Beach Run

Peachland Beach Run on Canada Day, July 1st.
This event was either a 5km or 10km run which i chose the 5km, having not run much ever in my life. My goal was to beat 30 minutes which i had set for myself back in April when i first learnt about the race. At the time i was still running 35- 40 minute for the 5km and it felt the right goal. As the weeks progressed, the 30 minutes goal became easier and easier and i felt quite confident that i could beat it as i had ran a 28 minute run and done a lot of cycling since then. I happily broke the 30 minute mark and beat my personal best with a time of 27 minutes and 42 seconds.
Full results will come Monday when they post it Online.
