Of course, I would have given it everything to be ready for Tokyo (and the original date last year) but it may have been a blessing that the Games were postponed because it has allowed me a better build up.\u201d<\/p><p>Training up to 14 times a week with eight to nine on water sessions on the Avon River under the long-time coaching of Leigh Barker has served Scott, a leg amputee, well.<\/p><p>However, a major boost to his training regime has been the opportunity to train with a squad of rising junior paddlers such as Thomas MacGibbon, Alex Hickman, the Marquet sisters \u2013 Brittany and Jess &#8211; and Thomas\u2019 younger sister Natasha.<\/p><p>Nicknamed \u201cAlpha Dog\u201d by the group, Scott emphasises the key role played by the group in his Tokyo preparations.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is good to have these guys around and as the oldest paddler in the group, it has been quite cool to take them under my wing,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe have a good squad atmosphere and nicknames for each other.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is really good to have them around. We train hard and push each but at the same time we have a laugh.\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-6c98efd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c98efd\" 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-0a45ec4\" data-id=\"0a45ec4\" 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-2867617 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2867617\" 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=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4129\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uptest.co.nz\/canoeracing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Open_MK1_200_H-03.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-0b98305 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0b98305\" 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-fbb143b\" data-id=\"fbb143b\" 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-1c6e5be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1c6e5be\" 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>In more recent months, Scott has gone about a relocation for his gym work. Previously he carried out his work at the Arawa Canoe Club but because of the cold weather in recent months he has based himself out of the High Performance Sport NZ facility at the Apollo Centre.<\/p><p>Here training in the same environment as the likes of three-time world champion shot putter Tom Walsh and Paralympic swimming superstar Sophie Pascoe \u2013 has added extra motivation for Scott. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u201cI sometimes see the like of Tom and Sophie and many other different athletes,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt is nice to rub shoulders with them and see their training too.\u201d<\/p><p>Combining working 20 hours a week as an estimator for Downer has also provided a nice balance. Back in 2019 he was training and working anywhere up to 35 hours a week. However, the demands of working such hours and training proved too much and he became seriously fatigued on his journey to the 2019 World Championships.<\/p><p>Sensibly reducing his working hours plus a greater commitment to rest and recovery has proved a winning combination.<\/p><p>However, without an international regatta since winning bronze in the KL2 200m at the World Championships in Szeged \u2013 how has he managed to address this lack of competition?<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m definitely looking forward to racing again internationally,\u201d he says. \u201cIn training I will try and visualise what it might be like to race in Tokyo. I\u2019m also lucky to have some very good competitive racing in New Zealand. I love racing against the able-bodied guys. They really test me, it is a good challenge.\u201d<\/p><p>At the 2021 NZCT New Zealand Canoe Sprint Championships in May, Scott confirmed he was in very good shape.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>In the K1 1000m he finished second in the B Final and reached the semi-finals in K1 200m. In crew boats he took three medals; a silver medal in the Mixed K2 200m alongside Brittany Marquet and K2 200m and 1000m bronze medals paddling with Ben McCallum.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u201cIt was one of my best ever nationals.
