Today was my clubs / areas 1st regatta of the season.. It was great fun but for the rain, rain and more rain that happened all day. No matter how many changes of clothes you bring or what your always gonna be feeling cold and damp.

I do have to say I’m VERY pleased with the club I paddle with each boat came home with a medal … Our most competitive team came home with a bronze in the A Final, our Youth team came home with a silver in the B Final (they were the only youth team there too) and the boat I was paddling on placed took home another bronze in the C Final. Which is freaking awesome with a boat full of newbies and 9 returning paddlers.

Wasn’t pleased when the zipper tag thingie on my pfd broke off (the pfd is 6 years old though) and before the 3rd race of the day one of my contacts popped out, thankfully I had extras in my bag but putting it back in without a mirror not fun.

Hope everyone had a great Saturday!!!

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
