Hamble River Raid And Basingstoke Hasler

Hamble River Raid And Basingstoke Hasler

It has been an amazing weekend for Southampton Canoe Club. Saturday was the Hamble River Raid. We took 6 K4 boats with crews of mixed abilities. The first 4 K4 finishers were SOU paddlers, with Matt, Dan, Xav and Jack having the fastest boat of the entire race! It was such a fun day and the weather was shining.

Sunday was the first Hasler of 2018 at Basingstoke canal. Lots of SOU paddlers went and we had 15 podium finishers! With Isiah topping the under 10 boys, James G, Beth and Charlie coming in first in Divs 9,8 and 7 and all earning promotions. Tina and Nathaniel came first in Div 8 K2. Poppy and I won Div 6 K2 with a 5 min lead getting Poppy promoted to Div 6! Matt came first in Div 2. There were many more top 3 places and we are still waiting on some promotions to be confirmed. It has yet to be confirmed but Southampton must have won overall!

A great job team, let’s see if we can repeat it at Reading this weekend!

Sou Junior Training Camp

This week we have taken part in the action packed SOU CC junior’s half term training camp, eight of the awesome SOU juniors enjoyed twelve exciting sessions over three days, including: 500m sprints, bungee paddles, boat maintenance, gym, timed efforts, goal setting, ergos and crew boats. The sessions that we enjoyed the most were crew boats in k4 and bungees this is because they were challenging and fast moving, and for most of us using bungees was a new skill. The toughest session was the 500m sprint, mainly because the conditions were horrible, however this made it very challenging and exciting, we all made the times for British Canoeing time trial awards though! During the training days we all learnt a lot, worked incredibly hard and bonded well as a group, we would all love James Hinves and Sou CC to run the great camp again.

Thank you James for giving us the opportunity.
