Two to Three

Greetings,
It's been another good day of training here in Ottawa. The weather got back to it's old tricks, raining on and off, and being quite muggy the whole day. This morning I did some 500's at a fairly high intensity. They went alright, but I still felt a little tired from the day before despite having the afternoon off. The afternoon session was at an easier pace, and I was able to work on some technical stuff and just try to feel good. I am still trying to fine tune some stuff before the worlds. I want to make sure I'm paddling my best, so I've been looking at a lot of video, and plan to do some more technical workouts later this week. Tomorrow morning we'll be doing some 1000's, followed by some work in C4. I've switched from my Vanquish II to my Vanquish III, as seen in the picture above. The red is the II and the green is the III. They are pretty similar, and I've been using them both this year, depending where I am. I'll most likely be using the III at Worlds, as Nelo has sent a special one to Dartmouth for me with higher sides in case of waves. That's all for today, but check back to C4C soon for something new that we put together today and should be up soon. Thanks for reading and keep your paddle in the water.
