Elite  2863    |  Subject: RE: Kayaking builds strength...right?shepherd - 2007-03-28 4:14 PM Love love love kayaking! Good arm and core strength builder and a lot of fun to boot. What kind did you get? - Touring? Whitewater? A bit of both? Man... I left my beloved 'yak in Georgia, but it's in storage waiting for my return. Forgot: Now you can also volunteer for water safety for races you're not doing! That's an extra tri benefit! They're Wilderness Systems Pungo 100. I think they're the touring type. Not much white water around here unless the wind is blowing 40mph+. I'm definitely going to use them on open water swim sessions with my tri groups. |

Elite 2863 | Subject: RE: Kayaking builds strength...right? hangloose - 2007-03-28 4:12 PM My mind is still reeling over the fact that if she thinks it is for triathlon training she'll be more ok with it? Huh? Bringing up one more tri-related expense is going to get me a night on the couch (we call it "camping" If I came home with a kayak I think my wife would say "Thank God that's over, how much can we get for your bike?" Yeah. Go figure. She has NO problem if this is something that will keep me involved with triathlon. If it were "just another toy" it would go back to the store.

Coach 9167  Stairway to Seven | Subject: RE: Kayaking builds strength...right? OK, I'm on both sides of the fence. It's another toy, but what's wrong with kayaking in it's own right? I used to live for kayaking, and if I'd never injured my back, I wouldn't be tri-ing, I'd still be kayaking. That said, when I WAS kayaking, I had killer shoulders and back muscles. |

I tested one before I ended up with my Perception Keowee. Pretty similar boats, but the Keowee was on sale and the Pungo wasn't. Enjoy! |

| Elite 2553 Tucson, AZ | Subject: RE: Kayaking builds strength...right? Lucky!!! I want a kayak! I've been eyeing an inflatable one that we could take with us everywhere on trips. I think it would be so fun to stroll around the lakes on one.
Have fun with your new toy! |

Zilla - 2007-03-28 7:34 PM hangloose - 2007-03-28 2:12 PM If I came home with a kayak I think my wife would say "Thank God that's over, how much can we get for your bike?" You should have married me I wouldn't care.... at one point my ex had, in our garage 2 white water kayaks (I guess one was a playboat strictly for tricks), 1 heavy mountain bike for downhill riding, 1 lighter mountain bike for regular mountain biking and racing, 1 older road bike for riding on rougher roads, 1 tandem that we rode together (and I swear caused our divorce), 1 new tri bike for racing and then and only then when he brought home the new carbon fiber race bike did I say, "perhaps we could sell something". Don't get me wrong, she is incredibly supportive and tolerant of my tri addiction. In fact, I need her occassionally to reign me in. We're good for each other that way. Tuckles - thanks for the huge compliment, have at it! |

I'll marry ya, Zillabombastic! Ever since I read this thread, I haven't stopped thinking of buying a kayak and hitting Nordie's shoe department. Edited by Renee 2007-03-29 10:40 AM |
