Last weekend was very tough, 2 very important races. The first being the annual HPP Head to Head race. Now for those of you who don't know this is a boater cross in slalom boats down a relatively open slalom course. Its chaos and great fun! This year was no exception with lots of crashes and paddle hits going down. Eventually after successfully being in the top two in the qualifications and the semi-final we had myself, Andrew Martin, Tom Wakeling and Robin Vasey in the final. I had a very good start and the others crashing in to each other gave me an early lead which I managed to hold on to, coming first over all :)
A big thanks to Neil Buckly and Greg for organising the event!
Nothing like a good bit of playing :P (photo credits to Beverley Wilkinson)
The next race was the English champs, Many people were abroad this year, so the competition was not a full house.
My first run was pretty quick, with only a few time losses here and there. This time put me in to first place and managed to hold that threw second runs.
I have now gained the title of English Champion for 2011 :)
I have a video of the weekend that ill upload shortly!
This week I have been hard at work “revising” for the impending doom of A-level exams, I have still managed to get my regular training trip to Nottingham and have had a good week mostly in the Gym.
I’m pleased to announce that I am now on the WhiteWater shop team! Im thrilled to be working with Pete Scutt and the guys now J
This weekend I am attending the first Team Training Day at Nottingham, Its a lovely sunny day outside so it should be great fun! I am now thinking I should get ready to leave for the course, as the clock is ticking away so look forward to more updates J
Thanks,
David
