The weather was just amazing the whole day on Friday with a light SW breeze and no surf to think of. Life goes in waves and I had a really good run of days with training becoming that much more consistent through the week getting in a full 2 sessions every day and great business meetings rejuvenating the mind.

Everything went so much smoother from a race organiser perspective this week. No admin and most of the paddlers are on the database so it’s so much easier getting through the entry process.

I organised a new starter for the race. Last week of people jumped the start, including me, eish, not meant to say that but my competitive nature comes out at the best and worst of times. Meant to set an example as a race organiser. Lesson learnt and the start was very structure this time.

I was well back behind the line this time which didn’t work as we only caught th...

The first part of the year is really dominated but the fact I am the race organiser of the Varsity College Marine Surfski Series. Racing comes second in this series and didn’t get to race at all last year.

Garmin Competition - Where to in 2011

2011-01-03 04:51:24 by Barry Lewin

In my 2011 goals, one of the things I am going to be stressing is a dedication to a regimented training program. I find it easy to get carried away with work, life and all that goes with it. Staying focused is hard but if you want the dream bad enough, go get it yourself!

Luckily for me my Garmin doesn’t lie, it is my loyal training partner and never sleeps in when I feel like turning over.

I have two cool prize packs from Garmin to give away. Have to be in RSA. It contains a shirt, hat, bottle and some other surprises. Really simpl...

The Good Stuff

I always take a break over this time of year to recharge the batteries. The end of 2010 was no different with a couple weeks of very little paddling.

Not sure why but this year’s break was sweeter than I can remember. Maybe it is still fresh and the good vibes are still ringing in my ears. Maybe it’s having someone to share it with (new girlfriend has me excited) or that I appreciate the time with family and friends now with perspective.

I have surfed HARD. Surfing being a favourite...
