    Preparing for the 2009 hunting season - Western Wanderer - Rack Tracker, In the West




    Preparing for the 2009 hunting season

    The first summer rumn on a cloudy May Day, under the oak trees.

     

    Mule Deer : Nevada Aug 8-16

    Antelope: Colorado Early September

    Blacktail Deer: California November 14-29 (Awaiting the Draw with fingers crossed)

     

    With these premium archery hunts scheduled, plus a bear tag, and one more General Deer tag for California,  the physical conditioning and archery practice has begun to consume nearly all of my free time.

    My calendar now has these items locked in on a weekly basis:

    Sunday: Trail Run (mileage increases from 8-15 miles through July 26th)
    Monday : Rest and recover from Sunday’s run.
    Tuesday: 40-45 minute Run (recovery run 5-6 miles)
    Wednesday: Archery 3-d League
    Thursday: 45 minute Run
    Friday Tempo run easy:tempo:easy for 40-60 minutes.
    Saturday: Cross train (hiking, biking, something other than running)

    week 3 of Trail Run Training

     

    An onlooker on last Sunday's run.  Always a good sign when you see deer, even when they are in a protected environment like a State Park.

    Thrills in the Hills.  This will come in handy when I hit the Nevada High country.
