Comment for a Cause (C4AC) is back for it’s 3rd year. C4AC is my way to raises funds & awareness. This year I’ve picked Right to Play as my charity of choice. Each comment this site gets equals $1 that I will be donating at the end of the month.. Don’t forget to keep up to date by subscribing to my rss feed
Today’s just been one of those days where you think its been half an hour since you last looked at the clock and its been like 5 minutes, or it goes by super quick..
I just finished packing my paddling gear and food for our clubs 1st regatta tomorrow. Can’t wait, I love this regatta cause its just sprints which are 200meter pieces (about 1min long) compared to the normal 500meter pieces that are at every other regatta/festival. Though I wish the rain would hold off until the end of the regatta, racing in rain isn’t fun!
Tonight is no different then other other night before a race, as you can always find me with a big bowl of pasta and my pepper salad and going though race prep by leashing up my nervous butterflies (err focusing in on what I need to do in a race) as part of my pre-race day prep.
I hate people who just say give it your all on a race, you should being giving it your all at every practice. How can you give it your all if you don’t know how to deal with it at a practice?
Have a great Saturday

I like that frame of mind – giving it your all at practices as well as every race. I completely agree with that statement.
Awesome picture.
Agree great picture!
giving it your all every practice is much harder. That’s an awesome attitude to have
Hope you had fun!
Although I think you should work hard in practice, I’m more of the mindset that giving it all all-the-time can lead to burnout. If anything, practices should be at 100% while events should be at 105%.. but even then that may be too much.
