Montreal Based Indoor Training Center. Shows the technique that Kamini talked about back in June 2010. This is a great video as it allows us to see how the legs and buttocks move during the stroke. There is a lot going on. For us who paddle outside foot forward, the outside leg drive becomes an inside hip drive when both legs are forward. The final variation is to have just the inside foot forward.

RPM 39 - SCOOTER - Hello (Good To Be Back)
Was a bonus track on RPM 39. Love the workout you get with RPM and this was one of my favourite workout tracks. Hopefully will be able to get back into it a bit more RPM in the New Year.

Premier Mixed 500m - Asian Dragon Boat Championships - Wujin (Sat 01 May 2010)
Asian Games - Dragon Boat - Men's 250m - Heat 2 (Sat 20 Nov 2010)
Another Dragon Boat video has just popped up on Youtube from the Asian Games, this time from the 250m event held on Sat 20 Nov 2010.
A clean sweep for Indonesia Men, taking out the 250m in 48.681s, ahead of Myanmar (Burma) in 49.401s and China in 49.467s. Again amazing times. Boat length being a significant factor. More on this later.
Full Results here: Grand Final, Minor Final, Repercharge 2Repercharge 1, Heat 2 and Heat 1.
Great to have some footage of the event. Also to see how these crew paddle. Plenty to look at and learn from here.
Asian Games - Dragon Boat - Men's 1000m - Heat 1 (18 Nov 2010)
The winning time by Indonesia in the Grand Final was 3min 32.016s (ie 00:03:32.016) with the following splits:
00:00:51.156 (at 250m)
00:01:44.660 (at 500m)
00:02:39.037 (at 750m)
00:03:32.016 (at 1000m)
From the video it is pretty easy to see the reason for the amazing times - up to 15 to 20 sec faster than those recorded at IDBF World Championship events. The boats are significantly longer than the IDBF Specification Boats mandated for IDBF Events. Boat Speed is a function of water line length. These boats (the dragon heads are typical of that used by the manufacturer of the Swift Dragon Boat) are long and sleek. When we raced at the Asian Dragon Boat Championships in Wujin back in Apr/May 2010, the Dragon Boats were Swift's and they had an extra seat bench, making it 11 benches, rather than the traditional 10. Looking at it a bit more, I think the boats are same as used in Wujin (see photo below). The rest of the Dragon Boat world can take heart that they are still competitive. Just need to compare times with those teams that normally compete at IDBF World Championships (ie China, Singapore, Iran, etc).
Complete Results for the 1000m Men: Grand Final, Minor Final, Repercharge, Heat 2 and Heat 1.
Fantastic that the times are recorded with splits. Will give me the opportunity to look at pacing strategies - what worked and what did not, etc. Stay tuned ..
Kamini Jain talking about Paddling Stroke Technique
Following on from the In the Same Boat video where we have a great view of the FCRCC paddling technique. We get an in depth discussion and display of the technique. Lots to pick up on here. I like the sitting up as an after thought comment.
Kamini has held a number of workshops in Australia (Jun and Oct 2010). Lots of people have seen, listened and are now trying to adopt many aspects of what she has taught. My Club had the pleasure of her company for a training session in Jun 2010. I will talk about the session in another post. Learnt so much from the one hour session and helped me find the feeling I needed to take to Macau.
I first met Kamini at the 2007 IDBF World Dragon Boat Championships in Sydney and then in 2009 Championships in Prague. She is very modest and always very obliging for a photo opportunity ..
In The Same Boat - Kamini Jain and FCRCC
A great clip from the soon to be released movie In The Same Boat featuring Kamini Jain and the False Creek River Canoe Club (FCRCC).
I have another video coming that features Kamini talking about the stroke that you see in this clip (just follow the Kamini Jain tag to find the technique video).
Definitely worth looking at this clip in slow motion to see what is going on - watch for the Hinge, Rotation and the top hand position through the stroke. Over the last 12 months, my club has adopted some aspects of the stroke, so this is a great way to visualise the stroke. Lots to learn here.
Not sure when the film will be released, but there is a Facebook page which seems to be active as well as a blog and a twitter account (not so active). The catch cry for the film ..
In life and in sport, we paddle hard - young or old, warm or cold, rain or shine to the finish line, because we are, all of us, IN THE SAME BOAT.

Senior Mixed 500m Final Post Race Discussion - Prague (Sat 29 Aug 2009)
George: Guys. Some times in this World.
Lynn: We won a Gold.
George: It's been a long wait.
You Really have to pinch yourself to make sure it is real.
Lynn: I wanted to make sure you followed [..??]
Leon: The rate was too fast.
Geoff: The rating was perfect. [Geoff: not quite getting what was happening at this stage.]
Leon: The start wasn't as good as we should have. It was OK.
Lynn: When the leg drive came in, you responded most of the time.
Leon: But we still won.
George: Look, I think the important things here. I am absolutely amazed to how you adapted to my changes.
That "Rabbit out the Hat" was the winning trick. Right. We took it to the other boats.
And, as I said in the call getting upto the starting line, I am going to do as many leg drives as required, to get us home. You must have responded to at least 8 leg drives.
By the 250m mark, I looked across, .. I couldn't see anybody .. and to my shock, we were in front.
I just kept calling the leg drives and with about 150m to go, when we took it home, I knew we had it.
Lynn: And I thought we were fighting for a place.
George: It's just an amazing feeling.
[..]
George: Look, just once again guys, I am so grateful you went on this Journey with me.
Leon: And so are we.
Lynn: We would not have been anywhere else for quids.
George: Like I said, to win one medal here is a bonus. To win a Gold is ...
Rob: Guys, just one thing. I think after Sydney 2007, someone said, "Just look around with the people you paddle with because this time may never come again".
I appreciate it. This is special. Thank you. Thank you all.
And guys, to everyone who paddled out there, the Reserves, the Squad, and the rest of the Masters, and the entire Australian Team. Thank to everyone. We supported each other.
Just thought I would pull this out and put it here. Great moments.
