REST!

Today a well need rest day for the boys. Yesterday we completed a 33 kilometre paddle from Teddington to Walton and back which was quite hard. This week has been a hard block of training and more gym. :)

Bochum Regatta 2007, Germany

The boys have returned from Bochum after a great weekend of racing. The boys K4 medalled twice (silver) in the 1000 and 500m events.In the 1000m race, the Germans showed their power all the way through to take the line with the GB boys 3.5 secs down on the winners. The 500m race was a different. The Great Britain boat with Kristian Reeves, Tom Hide, Ben Parfitt and Ed Rutherford led to the 350m mark, when the power of the Deutschland Vier came through and won by 1/2 a boat length. A very encouraging performance as we look towards the Junior World Championships at the end of July in Racice, Czech Republic. In the K1 1000m Tom came 4th and felt there is more to give. Kristian in the K1 500m came 6th and didnt have one of his better races but knows he can do better.
