This blog is created to honour the end of my Nationals Inter-School Canoe Championship 2009 and the end of a Canoeist Career in Junior College. The 1st few post will be dedicated towards the setting up of this blog and will convey my thoughts and feeling over the 4 days event to honour the Sports which I really believe in, fought for, bleed for and gave my life to.

Just in case you lose your focus during training because it's such a short time. I shall reiterate.

1) Your Hard Stroke. Your land rotation. Make it hard. Make it powerful. This is your maintenance. This is where you would win. Remember, this is a sequence of all linked action. Make use of all your muscle group. Kick AS HARD AS possible, Twist as fast as possible simultaneously. Without kick, the power from your torso is zero! Your paddle should be in the water in the shortest time possible so that maximum force is applied.

2) Perfect your catch. Make sure your warm up round, you can catch the water. Feel the water. back paddle. front paddle. catch. Make sure you can literally see your blade fully submerged. That is your feeling! In the race, this feeling will determine your catch hence warmup round important.

3) Remember without a good catch, all other movement are useless.

4) Don't panick. Never go high frequency in 1000m. Don't panick. Keeping your boat straight and stable is more important. High frequency screw this up. Therefore, it is important to set your boat right at the start. Therefore, if you're not confident, don't burst. Use the last 250m burst rule. It works.

5) Go for the win. With all else said, if everything else do not fall in place for anyone of you, just try your best to master your catch.



Go for the win!
