Lotus El Capilito II
The El Capilito II is a short sleeve fleece shirt perfect for providing core insulation under a paddling jacket. Made with a combination of Patagonia's R1 and R.5 fleece fabrics, the Capilito II wicks moisture and dry fast, both valuable properties when you're out on the water. Articulated shoulders and sleeves with spandex bindings at the openings make the shirt easy to move in and keeps it from bunching up over the course of a long day. A half-zip makes the El Capilito II easy to get on and off and the Regulator fabrics are compressible to make it easy to jam into a deck bag.

Training Tips
Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.
Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
