What A Weekend

Well another weekend has come and gone so quickly.This weekend for me and for many other paddlers was jam packed with paddling.Saturday morning's session was FLR's(Full Length Runs).A couple of my runs were fast and clean and the rest were sloppy and slow.Straight after the session we had the 5th and final selection event for WSAS.This event composed of 1 lap test and a 3 lap test.I did a new Pb on the lap test breaking my old record of 29:90 and doing a 28 flat,i was very pleased with that result.My 3 run lap test was clean and by the end the effects of the morning session were showing.I struggled to get over the finish line......well not really.I think i was the fastest on that one as well.

After paddling on Saturday my dad and I went and saw the long awaited DaVinci Code.The movie was awesome.For those of you have read the book you will notice a few parts that are missing and how they rush the movie in some sections,turning maybe 10 chapters in the book into 1 or 2 mins of footage,and
Today it was an early start again for an 8:15 session.Today we had a coaching clinic which 12 of us did.WE did an early session followed by video analysis then had a couple hours to relax.We chose to chuck a vortex around the stadium and yes we did lose it in the water several times.

After lunch it was back into the boat and onto the course for another Whitewater session.
We were all a bit dissapointed this morning when Duncan refused to turn all 5 pumps on simutaneously.At the current water height when all pumps are turned on at once all the water in the pond is gone.The weir stopper yesterday was awesome adn last drop was a 2 metre plummet into concrete.

For those who dont know who this is-it is Tim Eynon doing one of his usual stunts
