Last night my partner and I had the opportunity to go and watch the Netball World Cup semi final between New Zealand and South Africa. This was courtesy of my shoe sponsor Asics who sponsor the World Champion New Zealand team.
There was a great atmosphere, although the game itself became rather one sided and New Zealand came away with an emphatic 82-23 win.
Last weekend we had the Blue lakes 2 regatta. It was great to see such a good turn out with 93 competitors. Especially good to see so many junior K4s out.
I was pleased to be able to race and come away with a win in both the K1 1000 and K1 500. I was supposed to be recovering from the Mountains to Sea race that was planned the weekend before but because of bad weather and a flooded river the event was called off.
Below is a picture of the start of the K1 500, not quite Duisburg when it comes to course layout but it did the job with 8 lanes and markers every 250.
Following the regatta we had a NZ high performance camp. This was really good for everybody to get together and do some great sessions in a inspiring environment.
Below is a picture of Troy and myself doing a technique/recovery paddle. About 5 degrees but really good water with no weed.
About to head home for a cooked breakfast.
