ICF World Championships Milan Italy

Hello, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me over the 2015 Sprint Racing Season. It was a long season with lots of improvement and learning. I had to review, refine, and define a new lifestyle, diet, and training program. The end result was a consistent 3-5 seconds off my previous 200M times. Although I had a few decent times in 2013, I had plateaued and was pounding the water trying to get past those times. I traveled to FL twice and worked with Deb Page the Canadian Paracanoe team and fellow KL3 paddler (Christian) which helped greatly. One factor that was different was this year, I was not fighting to keep my head above water and make it down the lane for 200M. I was able to absorb and learn each race. I gained experience in the starting blocks, that I experience once a year, at the championships. I learned that being an intense person, I need to use additional gears to maintain my top speed; not over exert and lose efficiency trying to increase my max speed during the last 100M of the race. 110% attempted effort is 90% efficiency, I need 100% effort and 100% efficiency. The end result being C finals in a very competitive field of KL3 paddlers all fighting for country quotas for 2016 Paralympics in Rio. My Finals Race starts at 5:30 seconds. I am lane 1, which is top lane, farthest from camera. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdSMYNrbPFc
