Hey Folks,

A reminder there that thereââ,¬â,,¢s a marathon training day being run this Saturday! Youââ,¬â,,¢ll get the opportunity to be introduced to marathon racing by Neil Fleming ââ,¬" champion marathon racer and all-round nice guy. Heââ,¬â,,¢ll teach you some of the dark arts of going really, really fast in a kayak. Youââ,¬â,,¢ll get a chance to use proper racing kayaks and hopefully learn how to use the properly (once you manage to stay upright).

It will be a really interesting day for anyone who wants to try a discipline that they might not get the chance normally. To learn that itââ,¬â,,¢s not just paddling in a straight line and to look at your techniqupe from a whole new point of view.
The training will be on in Celbridge Paddlers CC (<click for map) at 11.30 this Saturday. If youââ,¬â,,¢re interested then email me or give me a buzz and Iââ,¬â,,¢ll put your name on the list and provide some more details. Any queries are also welcome.
Once again, I think that this is a really great chance to learn a whole lot ââ,¬" donââ,¬â,,¢t hesitate!

It's always good to try a different style of paddling and this could really help your forward stroke. I know I learned a fair bit from the downriver sessions last year.
