You know what really makes me happy?

England getting their 4th try.

Swimming the drop above that weir is not fun. The first time i managed to stand up before the weir, secodn time I got throw lined, and had to just hold on for dear life as they got enough people to physically pull me over the ledge. (In hindsight, they should have just let the line out another 10m, where there was an eddy i could have climbed out of.)

There is a video of my first (successful) descent of the falls at an OC1 meet, of about 10-15 boats, only about 3 made the drop. It was like lemmings!

Linky!

Yarp. I think I need a go in an OC1 for giggles. The only time Iā€™ve paddled one was on my L1 coach course - given I have a tad more skill now Iā€™d hope Iā€™d make a better job of it!

Iā€™ve been going through some old photos tonight of my time as a cadet as I was planning on doing a ā€˜look what you can achieveā€™ thing for the new cadets next week.

Looking at those photos has brought all the memories flooding back and made me appreciate just how good a time I had as a teenager largely thanks to the ATC. The number of cadets related photos I have vastly outnumbers the amount I have of me doing basically anything else which I think speaks volumes. Seeing how much I got out of cadets and how much I changed in my seven years as a cadet makes me really happy, but it also serves as a bit of a boost to my motivation which has been severely lagging over the last few weeks.
