Slalom Training/Racing

The slalom season is drawing to an end but there is still plenty to do!

I will be running some beginner training suitable for those who have not raced or reached Division 3. Any of you who entered the mini slalom are welcome along with any other paddlers who would like to have a go at slalom.

Sessions will start at 6.15 prompt until 7pm on the following dates

Tuesday 7th, 14th, 21st September

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO COME – CONTACT DETAILS BELOW.

I will then be attending the West Tanfield Division 3/4 slalom on the weekend of 25th/26th September. It would be great to see as many of you as possible entering for one or both days. It’s a great event and you can always team up for a topo duo or C2 run. Training will be provided.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO COME – CONTACT DETAILS BELOW.

For those who are already racing there are the following events remaining where coaching will be available.

Sept. 25/26th West Tanfield 3 / 4 Double
Oct. 9th/10th Llandysul 1 / 2 Double
Oct. 16th/17th Sowerby Bridge 2 / 3 Double

It would be great to see you competing at these events and representing KKC.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU INTEND TO COME – CONTACT DETAILS BELOW.

Normal slalom training sessions will run from 7.00 prompt until 7.45 on Tuesdays up to and including Tuesday 12th of October. There will then be an end of season shut down for a few weeks allowing me do maintenance of boats and equipment.

Winter training will be different this year. I do not intend to run regular Tuesday night sessions over the winter. There will be a number of slalom training events available on rivers in conjunction with Yorkshire Slalom – these will give you a great chance to train on moving water of different standards. I also plan to organise training on the pool some weekdays/weekends when there is no river training available. I will publish details as soon as possible.

If you have any ideas for winter training please let me know and I will see if I can include them.
