Fish Time!!!!
2010-09-29 09:16:49 by Barry Lewin

I cannot curtail my excitement. The best race in the world is this week and the vibe is starting to build. Social networks are going crazy with stories of last year, the new weir, who is going to win and of course how big the party is going to be.
 
I am flying tomorrow morning to PE where I am meeting the rest of my team. Paddling K3 again like last year with Justin and Marcel and let’s hope I can get Cradock right this time r...

Sharks go Pink for Cansa
2010-09-21 04:11:40 by Barry Lewin

How cool is this!

 
The Sharks Rugby ran out onto the field on their game against the Cheaters in Pink. Yes PINK!
 
The game was in support of Cansa and not just the 15 players but the 40 000 strong crowd also turned out in Pink to support this amazing cause.
 
I was lucky enough to sit in a box with best mate Russel Symcox and family. Russ was the mastermind behind the whole ...

Nutrition Tip of the day
2010-09-21 03:32:51 by Barry Lewin

Fits with the last blog I wrote on racing juice. There are a couple of tips I use when I am racing that would be cool to share. 

Keep your juice cold. Especially in warm climates like in South Africa and specifically Durban where it’s hot all the time, even in winter. Cold juice can help keep your core body temp down and intern save energy. Plus the colder juice is easier to drink. I take my juice to a race in a cooler bag filled with ice and only put it on my ski at the last minute. I also use a insulated drinking system that helps keep it cold for longer.

Octane XTR by PVM
2010-09-21 03:14:05 by Barry Lewin

I have been using PVM products now for a couple months through my racing and training, testing different combinations and seeing what works for me. Have promised some reviews so here we go.

 
The recent trip to Europe was a tough one in the heat with all 3 races being in the between 38 and 43 deg. I believe this is the best test for a race juice. In this case the first REAL TEST for the Octane I am using.
 
Well the ...

Formentera Surfski World Cup - 2nd
2010-09-13 15:57:22 by Barry Lewin

Sitting in Madrid Airport watching a cool sunset (irony, sunset in an ariport of all places) as I reflect on yesterday’s race. Have a massive smile on my face. Have seen so much of Europe in the last 3 weeks, made great friends (Rui is my hero), raced hard and right at this point is the sweetest feeling, homeward bound.

Back to my Formentera race report.

What a spot for a surfski race. This little island just a stone’s throw awa...

Race of Champions - Portimao - 2nd
2010-09-06 12:56:52 by Barry Lewin

After a long and hot trip down to Portimao from Porto with plenty admin the last thing I felt like doing was training. Eish! I did know however that I needed to find some consistency this week after some lightly disappointing results the week before.

With tired eyes I headed out on the morning run on Tuesday to put a stamp of determination to the week which in the end paid off. 

Strung together some decent sessions including a 25km ...

2010-09-01 12:01:04 by Barry Lewin

I have the cooest sponsors ever. Jeep Apparel recently asked for a set of my racing kit to put up in their best preforming store. Well I went a bit further and signed one of my old paddle blades as well. The display just went up and Max kindly sent me a shot. So stoked!

The team is having an amazing year and hope to do them justice this weekend. back to training!

Put My Foot In It
2010-09-01 11:40:18 by Barry Lewin

Just as I was raging about the cool things we get to do when travelling like seeing Vanilla Ice live in my previous post here murfy’s law came up and bit me in the ass. I put my foot in it.

On our 6 hour drive to Portimao in the south of Portugal our van broke down in the middle of nowhere. It was 40 deg and almost died in the heat. Not ideal and had to get rescued. They loaded the ...
