Pre World Champs Training Camp at Nagel Dam

One week down! Well done TEAM! It was an intense week of train, eat, sleep, repeat... a few times a day!

A typical day in life of a senior squad member:

8am Down to the Dam to get ready and warm up.
8:30 sharp! Training starts.
+/- 10am Finish the first session of the day. Followed by hill sprints / a run / gym.
12am Lunch, Amazing food prepared by Merrill King’s catering company, Capitol caterers.
3:00 Back on the water for round two of the day.
7:00 Dinner, always lots of delicious food! Last night, everyone literally got half a chicken!

I mentioned “senior” above, as the juniors, Adro and Zoltan Bako are down here with us too. They are also preparing for their world champs. It s been a big group of us and so far so good. We hope that the juniors can learn from the big cheeses, and that the big cheeses can help advise and motivate the lighties.

We are looking forward to another action packed week next week, with visitors from the High Performance centre in Pretoira as well as UKZN. They will be aiding the team with sports related psychology, biomechanical analysis and scientific monitoring.
