Open up the Lane Cove River Kayakers Club website (see clubs on PaddleNSW website) and scroll down the first page to the paragraph headed "2009-05-19" Click on the blue subheading 'Training Tips and Tactics'. The LCRK club has developed a good article on preparation for the Hawkesbury Classic which has been put together by some very respected marathon paddlers from their club.The information is also relevant to other long kayak races as well.

haven't had a read yet - but we have quite a few members going to the Hawkesbury this year - we're going to advertise a "pre-race" get together at the Yacht club to trade ideas, some advise from John H and get some GPS coordinates & timing from Danny. Suggested date is Wed 16th Sept. May then organise a night paddle too.

will not be able to make that night , am working but I would love waypoints for gps for race.
I would also be happy to give any advice on race

Thanks Adam - if you need the GPS co-ordinates I'll send you Danny's details, hopefully we have quite a few people coming on the Wed night. Any advise for 1st timers or for land crew is appreciated
