Summer Training

Schools out! I've had a heavy few week of school with exams, but now they're out of the way it's back into training! been heading over to the tuna almost daily with B n B, Brent and Chris W, which is good, getting some solid sessions in before the busy NZ session.. The times counting down now for my trip to oz with the development team, its a pretty big team this year with over 20 paddlers, 3 coaches and Roy B as manager.. It will be a pretty cool experience being my first trip on the dev. team, so looking forward to it! The team heads off on the 27th of December, going to the oz secondary and nationals and a southern cup race which'll be some good race expereicnce, hoping to be in the runnings to win the southern cup for U18! then on the 10th most the team heads up to the rith where we'll billet n have a week or so training, before back over the ditch on the 17th for selections, which' is looking pretty intense this year for the junior K1, looking forward to some good comptetition! Also the seniors selections for WCups have been reduced from 3 boats, to 2 in k1, 1 in c2, 2 in c1, which will make it tight. The selections are over two weekends, first two races on the 23rd and 24th of jan at mangahou which is also the NZ Open, will be sick to see some of the topdogs on the circut come over to race. Then the 3rd and 3th races ar held in Kawerau on the Tarawera River to finish. More info can be found at www.slalolmnz.org.nz or www.canoeicf.com
