first race

Hi there i am new to this but i would like to wish all the paddlers the best of luck in the 2011 Avon Descent and would just like to let you all know that the first race down the Avon river to Perth was made in 1957 by 4 boats (you could not really call them canoes)called SANISYBI 2 (sanisybi 1 attempted the descent in 1956 but failed)the second boat was called BWAP (buy west australian products) and the third was called RUSTY BUCKET and the 4th was a 2 man canoe that did not get started.I would just like you all to think about how hard it was for these boys back then without the support that

does anyone have a Stellar SES that can share their thoughts?

Does anyone have a Stellar SES? I am thinking of getting one and wanted a view from someone who actually owns one. I found a website with a great review, however, the guy is the rep for Stellar and could be a little biased.

Technology Review: Wetronome

OK, this is where you can either do it the hard way (counting strokes), or the easy way through the use of a really neat toy.

I came across this device when it was featured on ‘The New Inventors’ some years ago, and I’m pleased to see that the products are not only still being made, however they have been improved.

The device is called the Wetronome, and is essentially a beeper that can been at a set rate. So if you want to paddle at exactly 62 strokes per minute, then you set up the wetronome to 62 bpm & stick it close to your ear (under your cap).

Interval Timer Software

I wrote an article a while ago talking about interval training, and mentioned the point that I manage my interval training through my wrist watch.

The other day I searched through the applications available for my iPhone, and found a really neat application from Plain and Simple Sofware (http://www.plainandsimplesoftware.com/).

I'm testing it out on the bike at the moment, doing some great interval sessions & getting huge value out of my 2 dollar investment!

Gloves or Blisters

If you're one of those paddlers whom can't hold your paddle at the end of day one of the Avon due to blisters, then maybe you should think about gloves.I did my first 6 (or so) Avons without gloves, and while I spent huge hours training & had hands of leather, I would still end the Avon with sluffing sheets of blood all over my hands. One year I photographed my hands so that I could remember exactly where to tape them up next year.
