]]> Comment on Video - Various styles of sprint canoe technique by Karnon http://montrealdragonfly.org/video-various-styles-of-sprint-canoe-technique/#comment-473 Karnon Wed, 26 May 2010 16:08:13 +0000 http://montrealdragonfly.org/video-various-styles-of-sprint-canoe-technique/#comment-473 Some interesting things in the video to observe certainly. I'll have to see if I can't incorporate them. However, I do want to point out that team synchronization is much easier when there's typically only one person in the team. Even when there's two, the pacer doesn't need to synchronize with a neighbour! Furthermore, look at their legs. They have the advantage of a much greater range of motion to help them along. One interesting question is how should our legs be placed? According to the Shanghai team coaching, it should be with the paddling side leg extended and the other leg bent in a sort of runner's stretch. I'm not sure, but I think it is helping me, actually.

Anyway, since I won't be able to come to practice this Friday, can anyone bring a laptop/netbook? The annoying but loud enough metronome software is called Desktop Metronome (http://www.desktopmetronome.com/dm/dm.htm). And I just realize it has 14 days trial period????
