2013 started off with a fairly disappointingly dry Winter and with a work schedule that often collided with boating so in the early months I really didn't get out as much as I wanted too. In April I completed my Level 2 coaching training at Dartmoor and have been working through my course throughout the year and have now booked my assessment. Around this time I decided I wanted to enter the Adidas Sickline in October and began training right away! In May I competed at and pretty much won all the competitions at the Tryweryn Festival which was so much fun!
In June I celebrated the first anniversary of my amazing Wife and I's marriage! Followed shortly by a very messy 22nd birthday. We had a great warm dryish summer and I even managed to get a few boating trips in! In August I took a family vacation to see all the inlaws and I took my parents which was an amazing time. Shortly followed by the Adidas Sickline in Austria which I placed 69th and had an overall sweet time!
I purchased a new paddle wagon and got myself a new speedy kayak :). The last few months of 2013 have seen some amazing kayaking, spent some great time with family and enjoyed the winter holiday season! 2013 as a whole has been quite a busy year with so many ups and a few downs to overcome but it's funny how I only remember the good! Yesterday I wrapped the year up with a bang and paddled a short section of the Mellte in huge flows, unfortunately during this time my car was a victim of a break in, so an amazing and slightly frustrating end to the year but the windows getting fixed today so all smiles and good times :D
