K4 Training


Being on the SA Sprint team we have been fortunate enough to have two K4's at our disposal. We have a brand new Nelo Vanquish 3 and an old Nelo Vanquish 1. We previously used the Vanquish 1 at the first World Cup in Vichy France and were not sure weather we enjoyed the boat or not so we changed to the Vanquish 3 for the second World Cup in Szeged Hungary. After hearing different opinions on which is the better boat we finally made up our minds that the Vanqish 1 was by far the more comfortable bout for us. This morning we took to the water for our first speed session in the K4 (12x1min with 1min rest). We had done the same session the previous day in our K1's and were feeling a bit tender with the gym sessions included. From Zolli's first "HUP" we had a good rythem. It was the first time for me that we felt so good in such a long time. Its looking very promising and iam looking forward to our weeks training ahead.
