Tom, thanks for posting - i think its a real good idea for training
athletes to do time trials and especially to post them now that we
have this website. I've kept trackof time trials and race times and
results, levels, etc but most of them are on whitewater - and the
conditions can only be replicated at certain water levels.

most of the flatwater time trials i have are 500 meters and 200
meters (with a turn at the 1000 meter mark, so add maybe 10 seconds
for the turn)

500 meters february 2004in model basin (indoors) vajda sesia - 2.19
(old time) - i suspect i'm under 2.12 now
2000 meters - outdoors with turn (90% intensity) 9.45 2005 kesako
1000 meters - 85% intensity (not time trial speed)4.30 2005 kesako

ll of these are either from last year or werent true time trials but
they are a good guide of the kind of times you'd need to be getting
to be a a threat to win on the domestic scene. top world k1's will do
a sub 2minute 500, a thousand in 4 minutes and some change, are
probably pushing 9 minutes for a 2k

I'll try and do some trials and get them up here, as well as some of
my old times, and time of some of the juniors i train with here in
