12h00 PM SNOWSHOEING
PARC DE LA JACQUES-CARTIER Sentier Les Coulées. Counter clockwise ~ 10 km

With Bernard & Gabriel - I rent small crampons because wi thought we would snowshoe and I left mine at B's house. Buc actually could have gone without them. We WERE going to do the "Les Loups " but the road to get there was closed.

The Sautauriski was a wonderful brown color.. and rapidly flowing at places because of the rain and hot weather just yesterday. but about 5 cm of snow today made the hike very pleasant.

 FB : bon.. bin ils ont dit que ça prendra environ 4 semaines, tout vider, entreposer, défaire, refaire.. Le plancher flottant ne flottait même pas mais ils vont probablement le changer quand même, car il y eu un bon 2¼ pouces, presque 6cm, d'eau et ils doivent refaire le sous-plancher pour être certain qu'il n'y a pas de moisissures.. (le sump pump qui nous a lâché samedi..)

Find  Your Recovery Heart Rate
 Subtract the 1 minute recovery heart rate from your peak heart rate to calculate your recover heart rate.

According to the Heart Zones manual, your Recovery Heart Rate  is rated for fitness:

  • <10 = extreme caution
  • 11-20 = Low
  • 21-40 = Good
  • 41-50 = Excellent
  • 50 = Fit Athlete

I wonder if this is true at any age..
