@gdj043 @cliffreid Ha! Nearly! I had my athletes do an 80 second sprint on the kayak ergo last week. Two of them had lactates over 20 within 4 min of finishing.

The Olympics is more than just a competition. Brings mates together from all over the world! We all don’t see each other that often but stoked to call these guys good mates!!
Happy Olympic Day!

@gdj043 @Dan_Nash94 I think I only every got to 20, it was never a pleasant feeling! Common among athletes to reach lactates in the high teens/early twenties on the right sessions. Usually accompanied by some compensatory vomiting!

Check out Episode 1 of the https://t.co/UmTeTguuEv heroes project. Good bunch of athletes and support staff to work with. Also worth looking at some of the other events going on over here too, the Kahawai championships also a lot of fun.

@Ekaitzsaies That’s impressive! I’m not sure I could hit 21kph when I was at my best!!

He’s won Olympic gold and he’s been at the front line in hospital A&E. Dr @TimBrabants moved to coach in New Zealand in January. Interesting to hear about life there and his thoughts on the pandemic 🎧 https://t.co/VBygVHkMMx

Just finished 10 days of @F45Training at the Cambridge gym in NZ. Brilliant place, motivating team and great instructors. Best training I have done in a long time!

Put in a time for the NZ virtual surfski 12km challenge today with Colonel Mustard. Flat water fun. Love my @nelokayaks double ski and @BracaSport paddles. Check out https://t.co/BdmiKCqvI4 and enter too.

Uh oh! I best get out my fastest paddling gear!

[Ekaitz Saies @Ekaitzsaies]

My time was 22’03”. I didn’t regulate the pace very well and went way too fast at the beginning, and then paid the prize. 😅

I nominate some good old friends like @caldavid_ @evlars @kennyWalrus @analog79 & @TimBrabants to take part in the challenge. —
