We are planning on an afternoon camp at South Niagara RC on Sat, May 8th from 2.00-4.30 pm.
We have traditionally run a camp the day before Mother's Day and rarely seen it interfere with results at the regatta the next day. If anything, it is a great tune up. And it gets you onto the course where the June trials will be held.
The schedule will be as follows:
2.00-3.00 technical row on the course with some pointers from various coaches
3.00-3.30 Break
3.30-4.00 Warm up for mock 1500m time trial ( to ready you for the June trials)
4.00 Time Trial
4.30 Results and Wrap Up
Alan Oldham from the Guelph Rc will be heading up this camp.We welcome and require additional coaches and I hope to be there but in a limited capacity this time around. So please join us coaches.
The intent of the camp is to row in small boats as per the time trial- 1x and 2-s and for this camp we will allow 2xs.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU SUPPLY YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT AS SOUTH NIAGARA RC IS NOT IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE EQUIPMENT. Again, at the trials you will be responsible for your equipment so start chatting with your coaches and clubs now to plan for the camp and the trials.
Everyone is welcome to attend including all ages and coxswains.
If you have not spent time in a small boat but would like to attend the camp let us know and we might be able to put the odd 4+ or 4x together.
Please rsvp to me and Alan....copied on e-mail by Tues, May 4th at 11.59 pm at the latest.
I look forward to hearing and seeing everyone....cheers.
John
