2 days on that lake in a row each about 5 hour sessions. I counted those as an "8" as far as physical exertion on my sliding scale of 10 Yesterday the temps were almost human in the 20's F and were able to be gloveless derigging kite gear. Made a little movie last night - got on the ice at 8AM (dawn) and off by 2:30 - got home, ate and slept over 12 hrs each day. Hammered down physically, should be even stronger in recovery for next weekend - no significant injuries other that a persistent ab pull that might or might not be a hernia of some kind, studying up on that...
