Quick Canada Update

Hi, Tasha here

As I wrote a few weeks ago, I’m writing this from the Ottawa river in Canada – I’ll give you a full update when I’m back home and I can put in some pics, but just to give you a taste of a week on the Keener programme:

So this Monday we had to do speeches. I did what my experience of being a girl keener’s been like. This was great as we got to choose the subjects that we wanted instead of being given something boring to do.

On Tuesday we went on a river trip to the Gatuneau river (which meant getting up at quarter to six!). I only got one surf on high tension because I was a bit freaked out by it, but I got to take some great pictures of all the other Keeners getting great tricks in it.
Sadly, my backs been really hurting this past week which meant I missed out on race Wednesday but I was back on the river today for Big Water Beat down Thursday. I didn’t get trashed anywhere though some others definately got worked in one hole for a while! Then tonight some people got to repell of the tower at WT, the rest of us are doing it next week. We also had great fun climbing the wall there. 

I’ve got one more week left, apart from the climbing I have to pass my first aid and CPR and also I want to work on my roundhouses and maybe blunts.

Pics to come soon!

Tasha
