Finally back on the water Monday night paddled about 12km with a few of the team members on the wash for practice, didn't go too easy on them so they had to work for it it is all good for them developing a tactical brain for racing as this is an area in which they are all needing much improvement. Change the focus from who is around them in a social sense to who is around them in a racing mode, they chat way too much and lose concentration too easily! Come National champs this needs to be automatic.
Tuesday afternoon was a stretch for my back and a session on the spinning bike indoors to get the legs moving and loosen the lower back, felt much better for it afterwards. I have also picked up my race boat and brought it home for a bit to paddle at the lake for the rest of the week. Spent until about 11pm in the shed working on a boat.
Wednedsay morning paddled C1 with Steve at Patterson lakes, felt awesome and had the boat moving nicely even with the strong wind building making steering more challenging. Focus points have been getting hips rotating and relaxing lowerback, enabling greater catch and reach.
Afternoon plan is coaching and then about 7 or 8km afterwards.
