On Thursday morning last week I was up early along with a number of my team mates at Heathrow airport on the way to Germany and my fourth visit to Bochum and the International Ruhrregatta. The event was much smaller this year than it has been in previous years however the level of competition was still high with a number of nation still sending big teams.

Despite this there were a number of great results in from Great Britain team members, Dean Terry won gold in both the Landerkampf K1 1000m and 500m, Tom Simmons and Matt Welsh won gold in the Landerkampf K2 1000m. Katherine Trotter  also convinsingly won the Girls International K1 1000m and went on to win gold in the K2 500m with her partner Emily Lewis, to name but a few.

I was pleased with my results also with a Bronze medal in the Landerkampf K4 1000m (Tom Simmons, Mark Childerstone, Matt Welsh and myself) just being beaten by the Polish and 8th in the Landerkampf K1 500m which was a reasonable result considering my previous performances this year.

Overall a good performance by the team, if you’d like to see the full results they can be viewed here.

A lot of my inspiration comes from Gary Vaynechuk and I’d like to credit this video to him as an extension of his ideas. Visit Gary’s website – www.garyvaynerchuk.com.

So just a quick update from me on racing this weekend at Nottingham for the third national regatta of the year. It was a very up and down weekend with some pretty extreme weather to contend with. Along with the very varied weather were my very varied performances that saw two solid k1 performances in the heats but unfortunately poor final performances (typically the wrong way round)

On a positive note I raced both the K4′s which felt pretty solid in my opinion considering how little we’ve been in the boat together, so hopefully they will progress successfully.

Finally congratulations to Dean Terry on both his K1 wins this weekend and to Jon Boyton on making both K1 semi finals at Senior World Cup 3 this weekend in Szeged, Hungary.

Like I said in this video this is all about the conversation so feel free to respond however you like, this is as much about your opinions as it is mine. oli[@]oligibson.com
