EA (Endorphins Anonymous) - October 2010

10/1/2010 - Remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole

run on the harbor promenade 3.3 mi 00:33 10:00 pace
Had to get in early morning run before we set sail to Annapolis. Wow...is it windy out here!!!

now time for elliptical 3 mi 00:30
Looks like it is too windy to depart for a sail right away...so time to get in workout fix #2 - a quickie on the elliptical at the Merritt...gotta rush back to the boat now - we're leaving for Annapolis!

swim at the MAC in Harbor East 00:45
walk to harbor east and back 1.5 mi
Had to get to the pool by foot....it was a lovely (and windy) day for exercise.
You shouldn't be reading that I'm doing more exercise...BUT...we tried to sail...and it was gale force winds...so we got to Ft. McHenry and I wanted to double reef the main. But the reef lines got tangled up...and we couldn't untangle 'em in gale force winds...so we motored back to the marina. BUT...it was too much winds to dock on the A-dock...so we did an emergency landing on the P-dock. Now obviously this has a lot to do with my swim workout. Since we're still HERE in Baltimore...just a dock or 2 away from where we started...I might as well cram another activity into my workout fix. The Merritt pool is closed while they "bubble it"...so I have a free pass to the MAC. It's a real upscale club here....and the best part is that the pool is EMPTY. Had my own luxury lane for 45 minutes. yes...this is my world....pretty scary!

hoisted the main sail 00:10:00
This is massively exhausting. Our power tools crapped out...so being "deck girl" I had to hoist the main sail by hand....all 56 feet of sail. OMG

run around the Annapolis Naval Academy... 4 mi 00:40 10:00 pace
Sailed to Annapolis...hopped on a water taxi....jumped to shore...and off on a run thru the Naval Academy. Most delightful!
