GB Team training from team CKT paddler Tom

First full weekend of paddling for the year. I attended my first GB Team training, it was a really good experience, I had training for Squirt boating and K1. Everyone was friendly and supportive and in good spirits.


I have been practising my offside McNasties and Backloops and am hoping to perfect these over time.


On the Saturday afternoon there was a Gladiator of the Sluice competition which I competed in. I came 5th, but would have liked to have done better. The people that scored above me are my GB team mates.


In squirt boating I have been practising my edges and perfecting my downtime.


As the cold weather has now left us (hopefully) and is warming up I will be paddling a lot more.



Tom
