The result of my narrowly beating Tim Brabants in a best-of-three race off in July was that I was selected to race the 1000m K1 event at the World Championships just four weeks later. So, no sooner had I enjoyed a moment of celebration to relieve the pressure that had inevitably built up than I [...]

It has been a tough few months of international competitions in the form of the World Cup Series. World Cup 1 was in Poznan, Poland. I raced in the two-man kayak (K2) and the four-man kayak (K4). The K2 did slightly better than the K4 placing 6th and 8th respectively. From there we flew back [...]

The first regatta of the season was held at the end of April at the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham, in glorious sunshine. If the GB team selection panel didn’t get headaches from sunstroke, then surely the racing results gave the odd twinge. The regatta held everything that you expect from sport – there was [...]
