Conviction is what it takes to train hard in inclement weather, and it takes passion to be that deeply convicted. While most others are out on the rivers of Western North Carolina, our U.S. National Canoe/Kayak Team is out training just as if it were any other drought stricken day. Since arriving at the U.S. National Whitewater Center I have admired what “our” team puts into their passion.
Apparently this conviction has rubbed off on others, as there are many people training for different events in different disciplines of canoeing and kayaking. The Whitewater Center has been busy with those training for the Russell Fork and Green Races as well as a few who have been putting in some extra time honing their freestyle skills for competition.
Soggy days in Charlotte provide a perfect setting for those looking to train and learn as the huge weekend crowds clear out and make room for those a little more focused on their boating goals.
