This week testing has started at the Lee Valley White Water Centre The ODA is puting the course though its paces to make shore that it offers a challanging but cappable course that can last for many years to come. This has been a well looked forward event for many people and with sites set on paddling the course before the olympics everyone is very keen to see what the course looks like now. This attraction is going to change the uk slalom in so many ways. There is going to be lots of new people to the sport and a big tourist attraction for those that are really into the sport.

Wild Water Training

James — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:00:53 +0000

Yesterday I took part in some wild water training at Cardington, We had national team coach’s down to supports us with what we was doing and to give us some tips on what we could do to improve are stork, and times. we managed to get the white water course for a few hours and this helped us improve even further.

The day was a great event and had three different workshops. these were forward paddling technique, Turing on moving water and down water paddling.

Each of these workshops really helped my paddling as it made me think about what I was doing more.

At the end of the day the national team coach’s organized a race. The race was navigation down the white water course in the quickest time. I came first in the race with a time of 55 seconds and 2nd place came in with 59.
