Winter Time Trial

Now that the summer evening Time Trials have finished, in order to keep measuring performance through the winter months, a set of monthly Saturday morning Time Trials are being organised for all those interested in training for events next year (subject to winter water conditions). As usual this will be open to all boats K1,K2,C1,C2,O1.

As winter training should be more endurance based,there will be the choice of either one, two or three standard Time Trial circuits to be done,with approximately a ten minute rest between them in order to rest and refuel if required. Paddlers may chose to do the first only, the first and second, or all three (DW trainees!). Start time will be 10.00am, allowing the  ultra keen to do the Park Run 5k first at 9.00am!

First circuit will be handicap start, second circuit a mass start,and third a handicap based on first circuit times. The timing will default to myself, unless anyone else is free on any of the days to volunteer.

Dates set to avoid any winter race weekends are provisionally:

Saturday 12th November – Results

Saturday 3rd December

Saturday 14th January

Saturday 4th February

Ths avoids winter race dates of Sun 27th November Warland Banbury,Sun 11th December Basingstoke,Sun 8th January Richmond,and Sun 12th February Waterside A,and leaves any DW trainees free for a long paddle on Sundays.
