With no sign of his heart issues re-emerging and once again able to fully train, Taris has impressed in a series of regattas and re-joins the New Zealand squad \u2013 which is now under the direction of coach Tim Brabants at Lake Karapiro.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m stoked to be back in the squad,\u201d explains Taris. \u201cIt was a relief and now I\u2019m back in the group, I can put myself in a position where it is not easy but easier to win selection (for international regattas). I\u2019m under the umbrella of Canoe Racing NZ now and I have a HP coach on the water with me. I see it as a way I can progress faster.\u201d<\/p><p>Raised in Christchurch, Taris started out as a surf lifesaver before later picking up kayaking at the Arawa Club. In 2011 following the Christchurch earthquake he relocated with his family to Tauranga where he continued to develop under the coaching of Scott Bicknell. A powerfully-built paddler he enjoyed notable success over the 200m distance and went on to represent his country at the World Junior Championships and in his most recent international outing he placed 12th as part of the New Zealand K4 crew \u2013 which also included Max Brown, Kurtis Imrie and Ashton Reiser &#8211; at the 2018 World U23 Championships in Bulgaria.<\/p><p>However, on his return to pre-season training in New Zealand he started to encounter heart issues. Even under moderate levels of exercise his heart rate would suddenly spike. He struggled to complete sessions and he would wake up every morning feeling exhausted.<\/p><p>\u201cThere was clearly an issue there, although we never got to the bottom of it,\u201d recalls Taris of the heart<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cDoctors thought<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>training has caused it (the heart problem), so they told me to take time off.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2cbbe75 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2cbbe75\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-baa8497\" data-id=\"baa8497\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2622465 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2622465\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-1024x605.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3946\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-1536x908.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Taris-Harker-2048x1210.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c525725 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c525725\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-145ca8c\" data-id=\"145ca8c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dadc9c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7dadc9c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>He heeded their advice, stopped training and was eventually decarded.

I\u2019m not quite ready to start that phase of my life yet. I\u2019ll re-start training and give it one more time and If it doesn\u2019t work out, I\u2019m fine with that.

The global pandemic plunged the country into lockdown and for a period he trained out of a hastily put together gym in his car port in the home he shares with fellow paddler Tim Waller and two sprint cyclists.<\/p><p>Occasionally he admits to slightly over-doing the training during the winter of 2020 &#8211; which lead to several bouts of sickness. However, under the guidance of his coach of Scott Bicknell the training programme was consistently reviewed and the right balance was found.<\/p><p>\u201cScott has been fantastic and I can\u2019t give him enough credit,\u201d he adds. \u201cThen, the parents and kids I coach have been great, which has added another level of interest and the senior group I trained with have been fantastic.\u201d<\/p><p>Taris returned to competition last October at Blue Lake 1 and continued to impress. He won the K1 200m \u2013 defeating many of the New Zealand\u2019s men\u2019s kayak squad members in the process \u2013 and finished second behind Kurtis Imrie in the men\u2019s K1 500m.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>At Blue Lake 2 in December he claimed top spot again in the K1 200m \u2013 defeating Ben Duffy by 0.11 \u2013 as well as finishing third alongside club-mate Ethan Moore in the K2 200m.<\/p><p>His form had opened an conversation with CRNZ to discuss what steps he needed to take for readmittance to the men\u2019s national squad. However, around this time that route had became more complicated following the axing of the 200m events \u2013 Taris\u2019 speciality \u2013 from the Olympic programme after the Tokyo Games.<\/p><p>\u201cI was gutted to hear the news,\u201d he said of the axing of the 200m events. \u201cI signed a petition forcing the ICF to reconsider and shared it on social media but it didn\u2019t make any difference. I then tried to focus on the next goal. My goal remained to go to the Olympic Games, so I re-set the focus to the team boats. I know the 1000m is not something I\u2019m going to be very good at because I\u2019m not that type of athlete but the K2 500m or the K4 500m, I\u2019m okay with that.\u201d<\/p><p>Following the postponement of the Nationals due to the global pandemic an unofficial mini-regatta that weekend took place at Lake Karapiro involving the national squad and a group of Karapiro Kayak club paddlers.<\/p><p>There Taris impressed and following this performance he was invited back into the fold of the men\u2019s New Zealand Kayak squad.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>Delighted to return to a squad which includes Tokyo-bound K2 1000m paddlers Max Brown and Kurtis Imrie \u2013 he says he is excited to be back paddling again and hopes his return can usher in some further international experiences.<\/p><p>\u201cParis (2024 Olympics) is definitely an achievable goal but in the shorter-term the major goal is to get some overseas race experience,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt has been a while (2018) the sooner I can get over there the better and it could be cool to make some A finals at the World Championships.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Taris Harker was decarded from the New Zealand men\u2019s kayak squad in October 2018 following a mysterious heart condition many might have believed his international ambitions would have reached the end of the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3945,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Taris is rewarded with invite back into NZ men&#039;s squad - CRNZ - Sprint, Surf Ski &amp; Marathon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Canoe Sprint, Surf Ski &amp; Marathon.
