Great Start to Season

Been a while since my last entry but in that time a lot has happened both in and out of the boat.Well I made a good start to the racing season by placing overall 1st in the Pws Slalom Series,hopefully this will make my self confidence a little higher but probably not lol.That weekend I also went to the footy to watch Roosters vs Panthers with Maddy Johno and Duncan,overall a good night and a good weekend.

Ahsleigh flowers had her house warming party last week which was a great night of drinking and socialising.Well nothing much else is happening at the moment heaps of school work heaps of training and getting ready to finish year 11 not long now til im free of school forever

Start of Race Season

Well the racing season has come around so quickly with it starting this weekend with a small double header slalom.It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting on the startline at the Junior Team selection races.At the moment I am padlding really well,I have finally broken out of my slump couldn;t have come at a better time aswell with some BIG races coming up.Firstly their is State titles which usually is not that important but that race will ultimately decide the AYOF team with only 3 spots allocated for Mens K1 (I am not going to settle for 4th spot I was 4th for Juniors and I so want this). The next big race after youth selection is probably the Junior selection race itself that surprisingly I am looking forward to however im sure I will feel quite the opposite come race day.Well thats it at the moment pupil free day tomorrow Yes
