The Arboretum

Thursday May 20: Ottawa Arboretum. As long as I have been involved in Nakkertok, we have held a weekday workout at the Arboretum in the summer months. The Arboretum is located beside the canal, just across from Carleton university. This beautiful park has dozens of different varieties of trees all of  which can be viewed from the many gravel paths that snake through the fields and woods. The park also has a awesome little ridge, on which countless generations of Nakkertok skiers have bounded up and down, chiseling out their cardio for the upcoming season.  Today marked our first workout of the season at this location. The L2C group of Nakkertokers completed a hat workout, strength and a rousing game of soccer.

The crew warming up, lead up Kieran.


Alana happy to be putting in some time as an assistant coach.




The Hat Workout: The hat contains a variety of different workouts, from long zone 3 to short sprints. Athletes draw 5 different times, never knowing what they are going to get.



What could it be?

The girls completing 30sec sprints...

...followed by some zone3 bounding.


Ben Taylor: "Everybody come see how good I look doing this side bridge"


 Core is more fun when you get to push your friends around.


Down boy.

Core and Sun.

Katerine (on her stomach) has never won a bridge hold competition.


Em likes running fast.
