ParticipantCan we have some clarification on what is meant by stopping for a relief break and pleased to see it running brown…..!
ParticipantCan’t do 23/24 or 30/1
ParticipantGlad your enjoying your time at the club Dan.
I joined for similar reasons and also found the club friendly and welcoming I’ve never felt pressured to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with or goaded for failing.
ParticipantWhat are the qualifications required to become a level 1 coach.
ParticipantHi Gaz,
Deb booked Kee on the level 1. All I know is its in Pershore.
Let me know if you want more details.ParticipantClass….!
ParticipantOne major oversight
Tuesday night is steak night at Spoons…!ParticipantOk Rob, ringing you now
ParticipantA look back at last year.
ParticipantMe and Kee have had the green light for this but need a definite date so we can arrange time off work/college.
ParticipantCertainly wouldn’t have been my 1st choice but looking back I’m really glad I did it. A great river to put that smile back on your face Gaz.
Thanks to all for the support but especially Dave for all the advice and encouragement and Tim for those wise words of wisdom at the top of “Ricki’s surprise”ParticipantI analysed my roll last night and found the following. On my 1st roll I was conscious of my foot position. Although I was pressing down on my right foot plate it was to give me greater contact on my right knee.
My next roll was just pressing down on my right foot plate with a straight leg (no knee contact) and then one with just knee contact. Both rolls were successful, but my paddle finished a lot deeper.Kev was also conscious of his rolls and agreed that he found that his knee was the more noticeable contact point.
I would recommend that the next time your in the pool be conscious of your rolling side leg positions, as (to me) good contact with the front quarter of your boat is the secret of a good “hip flick”Post up how you get on…!
ParticipantI too had a moment in the pool when after being pushed over my roll failed twice when set up etc felt fine.
On the 3rd attempt it was roll or bail and while desperate for air I took a moment to compose myself and rolled.
Reflecting on it later I realised that although my set up felt fine I wasn’t leaning forward enough and just throwing my paddle through the motions.I also had a moment at HPP where after a run of 3 successful rolls at Lee Valley and HPP I failed 2 attempts and ended up swimming. Again on reflection I think that I can relate it to my set up and although feeling fine I think that my BA was giving me the impression I was further forward than I actually was.
I’ve worked on my roll a lot over the last 12 months and have found out that by slowing my roll down I have been able to improve my technique on both sides.
It is especially good at finding out your weak points or where you’ve got a bit lazy.I’ve also found that the set up is the most important part of a roll as a lack of effort here can cause a paddle to dive or be in a deeper starting point in the water.
ParticipantSee you at the Poney
ParticipantI’ll make sure he gets a sick note from his mom for Thursday Rich
