The Morning of.....

So its the first morning of racing here in Racice, Czech Republic. The K1 boys and girls are at the course getting ready for their races which kick off at 09h40 this morning.



Its a crispy and fresh morning with sunny blue skies and not a breathe of wind.



Perfect for racing!








We are afforded the luxary of sleeping in and having a big breakfast to get us ready for our two big races this afternoon.


Our heat is at 17h00 this afternoon and appears to a pretty jam packed heat at that.


We have some really strong countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, Hungary, Slovakia, Belarus and Poland in our heat, but we are feeling confident and ready!


To get through to the semi-finals we need to place somewhere between 2nd and 7th, with straight qualification to the final going to the winner of the heat.


Our semi-final is at 18:30 this evening, with the first 3 boats going directly to the final from each
heat and the first 3 boats from the 2 semi finals going through to the final, we are going to have our work cut out for us, but we have done our preparation and hard hours.... SO HERE WE COME!


The K4 1000m final is tomorrow (Saturday) at 13h00.
