Heading to San Diego in the morning to guest coach at the San Diego Canoe/Kayak Team's Sunburn Camp. I'm looking forward to this opportunity. In the first place, skiing in Minnesota really stinks right now. It's been 35-45 for the past 2 weeks, so real snow no longer exists, and even the manmade snow is ice balls and dirt. It's been too damp to enjoy riding, so it's really time to head to the Left Coast.
In the second place, I get to work with (and learn from) some of my favorite coaches. The chance to learn team boats (2 and 4 person sprint kayak) from Olympic Coach Jerzy Dziadkowiec is simply awesome (in the true meaning of this overused word.)
Rolling into town as a junior invited coach will be interesting too. Beyond the daily schedule, I've little idea of responsibilities, but whatever I do will be just fine. The reason for holding the camp is to give elite junior paddlers another opportunity to gain experience, practice starts, and paddle with athletes not on their own team.
So I'll try to take pictures and maybe a post or two from the road.
Enjoy the holidays! Be safe in whatever you may do.
