This program was created from a dragon boaters perspective and developed by Coach Anna Mathisen to help us paddlers get the answers to the questions we may have about training in an OC1.

We will tackle the obstacles that may have stopped us from doing an OC1 time trial required to try out for club crews or national teams. 

Our goal is to provide you with the concrete tools and necessary skills you can implement immediately to help you move past the blocks that can hold you back.

TOP END POTENTIAL

We know you’re already following a training program and that just doing more won’t get results. Adding top end training will. 

Is your current OC1 training giving you the specific training you need to shave time off your sprint race? Anna has developed sport specific methods for us dragon boat paddlers to achieve speed and finish strong in a one sided sprint race!

TAKE A PEEK INSIDE THE OC1 time trial PROGRAM

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING IF YOU AREN'T GETTING THE RESULTS YOU WANT​

Here are a few hard truths from Coach Anna:

  • If you don’t sit centered you are prone to injury
  • When you don’t have a plan that targets the specific needs for Dragon Boat paddling, you will get the same or worse result year after year. Especially as you get older
  • If you time trial on an OC2, and you are not using resistance when you train on your OC1 you are not preparing yourself
  • The older you are, the more you need to learn technique and skill as a foundation for getting faster
  • Women lose muscle mass every year after the age of 40… Every woman needs to focus on building their paddling muscles
  • If you are borrowing a canoe and being led around on the water, you will plateau
  • If you are paddling around and keeping up with others, you are not building your race strategy
  • Looking at your stroke rate on a speed coach is not the same as using a metronome to take control of your cadence
  • If you don’t do endurance training, you will not be able to train enough to get the speed you need to go faster
  • If you don’t’ work on being centered you are weighting the ama and losing speed creating more resistance

This OC1 time trial program was created specifically for the dragonboat paddler who cross trains for a sprint race on the OC1. We’ve got you covered!

Dry Land TT prep and warm up

My first attempt was exactly 15 seconds better than my previous best on our lake and my 2nd was 14 seconds better!!

Lately, I have been racing against the younger and lighter paddlers. I have consistently beaten everyone except one person.

I really like that this program is directed to women with all our specific attributes and requirements. I have really enjoyed all Modules so far—especially proper alignment and balance to promote confidence, and conditioning exercises for stroke mechanics.

Great to see competitive, conscious women like you and Anna coaching more women and athletes to be their best.
