Ending of the season & Video fromSpring Sessions

Howdy!

So the season has finished. Here is short recap and on the end after some pictures you can find short clip from Spring Sessions made by Tomasz Lebiedowicz ;)

After coming back from America and few days of rest Adam picked me up and we went straight for Polish Champs. I was feeling overtrained all the time but kept training anyway. Adam was very focused aswell as he had some serious goals set for this event. I've won the prelims and Adam also qualified for Finals which was already big succes for him as it's his 2nd season only. In finals i was slow and very tired, even though i was leading until the last run of Tomasz when he beat me by 46 points scoring . Funny thing that in Squirt where i also got second he beat me by the same amount of points ;) Well good job on that.
The score Im proud off is Adam's - he took his first medal taking bronze! Which was his goal for this season and he completed it, well done!

 Habazie preparing the tactic
 Yes, you ; )


On the way again!


After this we went  back to Cracow for few days as i got sick and on wednesday we left for Cunovo. We'd some practice and at thursday we're asked to join researches for Nina for her phd work. She is trying to find out what indicates skills and best results. If it's strength , speed, agillity or amount of fast joints in muscles.

The Crew

It was quite exhausting - but huge fun! We were resting afterwards and waiting for event to start. As it's been the last event of Eurocup there were alot of great paddles all over from Europe. There were 4 of us who could win whole Euro Cup series so it was really hard fight. On the end Peter took 1st, Tomasz 2nd, Me 3rd and Martin was 4th  - even though in whole event he was next to me but i had my place secured from first event where I came second. In womens Nina won whole cup and Yannick Munchow from Germany won the Juniors even though Max Karllson raped it in this event. I also had honor to be the head judge of the event.

On Sunday Just before the finals i also took part in kayak cross almost making it to Finals unfortunetly getting kicked out of the eddy which finished my creeking career for this event :) Was great fun though and i was surprised how well i did!

Now I've got two weeks of rest, then fun event at flatwater and afterward starting to train hard again :) My plans for winter got changed though - Im going to train to Costa Rica this year with our great crew, cant wait!

Soon the pool trainings will start together with my new project.. Stay in Tune! :)
