Today was our first race day and it was really fun. I think race days are very important, because we learn lots of things that will be very useful for our futures. Some of the thinks that we learn are studying the best and fastest lines in the rapist, when is more important to paddle hart and when you can relax a bit, how to make faster starts, what are the places where you don’t want to go if you want to go fast, ... .
During the day we made three different races. The best one was probably the first o e, it was a race in teams of four. What you needed to do in this race, was going from the over part of Mccoys rapid into the football eddy that’s a very big eddy in the middle of the rapid. There you needed to touch a kayak, come out of yours, leave it on the side and run all the way up to the start where the next person of the team should be waiting for you. 160
The think was, that Mccoys has a lot of lines and each person has to choice the one that looked faster to him. Finally my team got the third position.
Now we all know better how to see the bests lines and all those things that I all ready said and had very very fun day.
