Yip that wraps up another NZ Selection races and the New Zealand Open. The weekend was a pretty good one with a quite a few internationals coming over to race which is always great to see!! Congratulations to Mike Kurt who took the win today in front of Fabian Dorfler and John Hastings coming home in 3rd. I personally had a crap weekend of racing where I couldn’t get into rhythm of racing and made lots of really basic mistakes which cost me large amounts of time. I still made the final and had a shocker final run with a 50second penalty so I ended up 10th. Im not too worried though as its always hard juggling coaching and racing as an athlete. On the other hand I’m really happy for those athletes that I have been coaching as they all raced really well and most of them smashed their personal goals.

The NZ Teams for U18, U23 and Senior Teams will be announced in the next few days. For results from the weekend check out Canoe Slalom NZ.
