If you never take a risk (*), you will never know what changes (*) you need to make.

We had finished our final training camp and some of us (the usual suspects, including a few that have taken the risks and made the changes on this shared journey right from the start, way back in Jan 2010) paddled the dragon boats across to the canoe club across the river. Serge had arranged for us to use some of the canoe clubs C1 and C2's. Most of us had not had too much experience on these tippy canoes, though that did not stop everyone giving it a go.

For me, it was a great moment and one that has become a fond memory of the whole Campaign (*). We had just finished our training and we were ready to race. It was a special moment that we share with our team mates before the challenges of the Championships.
