Last week the New Zealand development team had a training camp down at the Mangahou white water centre just past Shannon. Carl and Nikki Whitehead, Laurence Brown, Malcolm Gibson and I travelled to foxton beach where we were staying in a bach. 
The weather at the camp was as expected, cold, rainy, but thats mangahou for you. Trainings for me were pretty productive I found, training with the group I was staying with aswell as a couple of sessions with my brother Ben Gibb and Aaron Osborne. 
But mainly with alot of help from Ian Mercer in his spare time away from the Development Team. The course at Mangahou will host the 3rd and 4th selection races for the nz teams (senior and junior) if the same as last year there will be a few athletes from overseas coming to compete before heading off to Australia for the world series race. There was a quick race at the end of the 4day training camp
