Training Day 6th September, 2009


INLAND OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUB TRAINING RUN.

On Sunday 6th September, 2009 the club will be running a training day and will be paddling from Barmah to Echuca.

This training day is tailored to give new paddlers an introduction to the course for the Echuca Mini marathon and the YMCA Murray Marathon. It will also cater for the experienced paddler who has their own outrigger canoe.

We will use one six person outrigger canoe for this paddle. I would hope as many people as possible will attend. Everyone who has a single or double outrigger canoe is encouraged to bring it. There will be paddlers who do the full distance in a combination of six person, 0C1 and 0C2 and others who do one leg in the six.

Please be at the canoe club at 8.30am where we will pile into as few cars as possible and drive to Barmah, put the canoe together and paddle down to Echuca. We will change at check points on the Vic side that will be used in this years marathon.

We will be off the water by 2pm.

Mark it in your diary now as this type of training is crucial to your preparation and confidence in your ability to paddle at Christmas.

Don Larcombe is taking names and the $20 entry fee now from interested paddlers. We are hoping everyone in the club will support this event and paddle with us.. Please catch up with Don at training.


Registered members.

We are proud to announce we have 37financial members of the club. If you know anyone who would like to join then bring them down to training. We need more paddlers to participate in the YMCA Murray Marathon.


Upsteam with a paddle program!

Training for all junior paddlers is at 3.30pm after school on Monday nights. The mission for all our juniors is to bring down one friend and introduce them to our great sport. There are heaps of places for kids to compete in the relay at Christmas. The ultimate aim of the program is to enter two six person relay teams in this years YMCA Murray Marathon. This will include all our senior paddlers who wish to participate. So join us and have a go. We will be compiling a list of paddlers for those teams in the very near future.


World sprints in Noumea 2010

The AOCRA National Sprints Titles in February at Bond University in Qld will act as a selection event for the World Titles. Several of our members intend to compete for qualification. If you think you have what it takes perhaps you should send us an email and we can assist you with preparation and training. Of particular interest is the singles racing which must be done in a V1 (rudderless single) to qualify. They are hard to paddle. If you are fair dinkum consider buying one from Zulu.
