Fiona Pennie

Arrived in Augsburg to kick off my 2017 World Cup series campaign! Decided to stay at home for the opening World Cup race in Prague this weekend to concentrate my efforts on the end goal of the World Championships in September. Eager to get started with racing now! Here's a throwback to just a few years ago in Augsburg 🙈 #2006 #CanoeSlalom #WorldCup #freshfaced

Bib no.13 certainly was unlucky today in the semi final of the Europeans. I finished my run in 7th position, a result that would have put me in the final. Then I had another touch added to my time after my run which put me just outside by 0.32 seconds. A touch I didn't feel I had as I didn't feel anything on my face or helmet. To then hear that a competitor who finished above me had an underweight boat of 8.98kg at the finish line but was somehow allowed to pass infuriates me the most. This is not competing within the rules. I can only hope that the structuring of personel at the finish weighing area will change as a result of this, ensuring nothing underhand can happen in the future.

With 14 of the 15 K1 Men European Championship finalists in the @peakukkayaking Racer ST, there must be something good about it! My turn to take it as close to the poles as possible tomorrow! 📷: @paulramsdale @peakukkayaking #PeakUK #RacerST

Being bib 13 hasn't started too bad! 3rd in qualifying today to kick off the @canoe.europe European Championships campaign. The team run through a hail storm this afternoon wasn't such a highlight with us finishing up in 6th place. Onwards to the semi finals on Sunday after watching the K1M and C1W do their finals tomorrow! Catch it all on the @canoe.europe YouTube channel from 11.05CET. #European #championships #sLOVEnia #canoe #kayak #slalom

Opening ceremony of the 2017 #European Championships done✔ Racing starts on Friday for me. 12 years on from my last Europeans here in 2005! No sign of any guns back then! 💪

Another year, another trip to the beautiful #sLOVEnia. The days' schedules mean not so much time for adventuring so I won't get to see Lake #Bohinj this year. Here's a throw back to a day out up there with the team in 2010! #crystalclear #Lake #mountains #triglavski #landscape #Water #reflections #adventures #outdoorphotography #canon
