A while ago, I was one of those kids invited by the region for a training camp on the holidays, and today I'm one of the coachs!!!
Am I getting old??
The cool thing is that I enjoy to coach as I enjoyed to be coached when I was kid!!
A really nice week in Millau with the 19 selected young kayakers of the region.
We paddle a lot with slalom kayaks and freestyle boats, and we ran a beautiful section of the Tarn river between Les Vignes and Le Rozier.
The beginning of the descent in Les Vignes.
That descent is simply beautiful!!
Happy coach.

This training week ended by the canoe and kayak Region Championship in Millau.
The program: kayak polo, flatwater races, white water racen on saturday, and slalom race on Sunday.
I just compete on the kayak polo and at the slalom race.
About the kayak polo, I compete with the 2 teams of my kayak club of Rodez, the "old" team and the "youth".
With the old we were dismissed at the 1st round, with the youth we headed till the quarter final, reaaaaally cool!!!
Hugo at the white water race.
Yannis at the white water race.
At the slalom race, I ended 9th overall senior, and 6th of my region with 2 sweet runs.
I really enjoyed to compete in slalom, a long time I didn't!!
A big up to Loic Vynisale, who's a whitewater race and flatwater race killer, and he ended 5th senior of the region at the slalom race!!
Well, an awesome paddling week in a sweet atmosphere!!
Wanna have more!!
