As winter is coming up, we cannot leave the boats in the bay unprotected, but we need to keep them indoor so that the number of damages can be minimised. The guys had already driven the boats to the Kelenföldi power plant but the cleaning was left to be done. Since 11 a.m. on a Saturday is not the most popular time to do community work, only 8 people showed up. We had 6 boats to clean altogether, both from the inside and outside. Some of them were really dirty with dried mud and fall leaves at the bottom. Once they were tidied up, we had to lift them and turn them up so that we could polish them from all sides. One such boat weighs a minimum of 250 kilograms, so it was not an easy task at all! But most importantly, all the boats are clean by now so we wish them sweet dreams during the cold winter period.
As for the trainings, we have officially started the winter preparation, i.e. off season which includes a lot of work-out and practices at a pool on Népsziget. Pool paddling consists of having the paddlers sit along side the pool with slimmed down paddles:
We were video taped during the competitions and festivals this year and an analysis will be done by the coach in the following weeks. It is essential to check the different positions, especially if we want to improve our technique.
To call it a season, we will go out for a team dinner next Friday. I am already excited.
