I am a late forties kayak racer. My goal is to compete at the World Masters Games in Turin, Italy in 2013. I will be racing in ICF sprint kayaks. This blog will be my training diary for the next 4 yrs. I use a variety of running, weights, and cross training to hopefully become a better kayaker.

Climb the Wall 2010


I am going to race the "Climb the Wall" this after missing last year. I am on a team this year called South Arm Boot Campers. Which is the boot camp that I go to every morning at 6am Monday thru Friday. Yes, some days it is tough to get up.

We have already started to train for this event, by running stairs over and over again. Some of us have started to carry dumb bells as we run, to make it that much more difficult. I was the dummy that started it. Oh well, You don't improve without pushing yourself.

This is a fund raiser for the B.C. Lung Association. So if you would like to make a donation just click on the following link:

Then click on the "Sponsor Climber", and search on Darrell Pearse.

Or even better, sign up or start / join a team and come stair racing.

Back to Boot Camp

It has been three weeks now of Boot Camp, and I am starting to loosen up. After missing more than a month while I was in Australia, things were just not up to speed.

This is the base phase for building up for next years race season, both on the water and off.

I think I am going to be a little more focused on running, than paddling this season. At least that is how I feel right now. We will see once we hit March, who knows.

I am going to go to Canmas this year in Regina, so that is something to train for.
