Hang on could this explain your recent 3rd place?

We go to the champs because were addicted to competetion no no no, I mean because the whole family gets to paddle at the same event. How about a 1 parent and 1 offspring class. Just declare you team before the event ( for a nominal fee!!) and then add the 2 totals together from the individual runs ...

I was intrigued by Munchkin's quote “Wait and see… there will be a reason so there is no point in speculating” So I thought I would look on the committee pages to see if there were any clues there, but couldn’t find anything. (but like most males looking for things is not my strong point). But I di...

Reference Picture. Novice/Div4 !!! We were obiviously made of sterner stuff back then (or just stupid). Note reverse gate 10 upstream on a boil ! You try telling the youngesters about how tough it was back then, they just don't believe you, we were up to pratise half hour before we went to bed. Ple...

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like its down to listening to your body and common sense.
Now off to find some common sense, I wonder which box in the attic I left it in?

Tennis Elbow any advice please. I managed to over do it in January, and ended up with very limited movement in my elbow after a sprinting session. I have been to a physio and have had a couple of sessions of massage and ultra sound. I have been given a set of stretching and light resistance exercis...

ACM do you get a vote if you turn up? Or is it only clubs who vote?

GreenPeter

Ahh, poor little darlings lets just wrap them up and put them in cotton wool it’s a big bad world out there. I take by yps you mean Children or is that now a politically incorrect word. I’m now knocking on the door of Fifty and anyone under twenty five looks young to me. Being a parent with 2 Kids ...

I vote for 5 year age bands. I think the age bands are even tighter in Triathalon, but can't quite remember (when I move up to the next age band I probally won't be able to remember what Triathalon is). I agree with Spidey "I personally do not see current numbers of paddlers being a governing facto...

How about the Stiletto from Avoncraft 1975 or 6 I think and didn't Chris Lovelock have a hand in the design?.
