Chilliwack Training Camp

Well I guess it didn't help that Jess and Connor didn't go to the Rich Weiss Cup, but they won it in the hearts of the voters. Paul, Chris, and Matt were 2nd, 3rd and 5th, while Graham won the Junior men's with AJ and Levi 3rd and 4th. Haley and Marissa were 3rd and fourth over all while Marrisa was 2nd in Junior. The Purcells looked impressive in C2.

Chilliwack was great...if you like rain, cold and good water. Two training camps went on simultaneously and everyone had great training. The Alberta athletes on the National and Development Teams worked with Michal Staniszewski, Canada's Head Coach, while the rest of the HP athletes worked with me, Mike.

The National group worked hard and their results show good improvement over the winter. It was excellent to have Michal's expertise around. It was a nice break for me to have smaller groups and focus on some technique with my 5.


Our one afternoon off I treked up Elk Mt with Seo. Tons of snow and trail finding made for a fun hike and great views.
