Video Project – Update

If you have been following PGN for the last while you’d know about my shoulder issue, that been annoying me through out the 2011 paddling season (my 17th season), where I wasn’t able to take part in as many races as my teammates wanted me to. But when you got an injury, it’s better to rest it then to make it worst.

Which lead me to do this video project as it would allow my club to get current footage for the website, as well take a gimps into the paddling world that doesn’t just focus on one team/club at a regatta but a mixer of everyone. I do believe that there is at least 1 clip with me truly in the boat racing. With all the footage I got of my club, I was able to create an awesome 2012 recruitment video (which isn’t on youtube yet)

Here a video recap of the 2011 racing season,

I’ve already have been coming up with ideas of how to do the 2012 recap version. Just watching that video makes me wish I was still paddling but I’ve decide to not paddle through out winter season so I can relax and of course sleep in.

Bobsleigh Talent Camp

The last time I ventured to the Oval was for a paddling clinic before the 2010 Olympics and on Sunday I was given a chance to take part in a BC bobsleigh/skeleton talent camp.

Right around the mid paddling season point, I came up with this goal/fitness challenge of taking part in a talent camp, if I made it sweet if not I was able to make it that far. The original goal was to enter one next year but after a few bobsledders I know egged me on to do it this year. Do have to say that it was a great learning curve and now I know what I need to work which would also help with my paddling.

It was really nice to be part of a small group of 8 (12 people signed up though) people instead of a huge group of 30+, this way you aren’t waiting around to long. Being the only female who took part did suck as I wasn’t really able to gauge myself against my own gender and all the guys having true track backgrounds which also didn’t help but at least they didn’t laugh at me.

Now the waiting game begins as I wait for my results.

How was your long weekend?
