Something a bit different and pretty cool in my book.
Below is a video from the London Olympics, the final of the Men's K2 200m. The mostly black with gold boat closest to the camera is being raced by Perth locals Jesse Phillips and Stephen Bird.
Well that boat (yes the actual boat from the Olympic final) is having a sleepover at our place tonight, it's in my Alfresco right now.
But tomorrow, my 16yo will get a chance to race a K2 200m at the State Kayaking Championships, in Open division, with one of the Gents who's name is on the boat - Jesse Phillips.
I know he's really looking forward to this, but I suspect he's a bit nervous as well, he's pretty sure he can 'hang on' for 200m, but I'm sure you can understand his nerves.
EDIT: Seems you will need to click on the 'Watch on Youtube link'. The stroke rate from these guys is just nuts, my boy can't do that yet so it's going to be interesting to see how he goes tomorrow. Jesse has recently retired but is still training.
