Training has been very productively over the last few days with a more solid training plan in place. Today was my first scheduled race simulation session of 2011 with good performances over all three runs. Three clean runs at good pace. Here is a video of my Final Run.

Today I had my second Race Simulation session and again had good performance over the 3 runs. Preparation was key as the cold winter chill continues. I picked up a couple of penalties today with a more physical course and weather conditions becoming a distraction. Here is a clip of my Final Run.

20th: A quick update- Training has been going extremely well over the last few weeks. With a consistant training plan now together which seems to be ticking all the boxes. Unfortunatly after finally getting my van back on the road, my engine decided to sieze.. Nice. so alot going on making things difficult especially in the financial department but it wont be phasing my training too much.

11th: So the year is off to a good start with locating my self in nottingham to provide a base for my training, and on the way back from visiting the Family my Engine siezed!! So now as far as transport is concerned my feet are my wheels. Fun times ahead im sure. Had a great week training and set up with a training buddy which will help with my progress

2nd: 2011 is upon us and after a 3 year long break, my training is again underway. I have relocated myself in Nottingham on the 1st to provide a training location with all the ingrediants to make my goal of a place on the 2011 British Canoe Slalom Team.

I will be comuting between Nottingham and Cardiff over the winter to prepare for Senior Selection in May.

The last couple of days have been cold on the hands the frozen lake disintergrates down the river.
