Hi everyone, well its getting close to the first of the two Olympic selection races where I have to place in the top 16 nations to secure my spot to race for New Zealand at the Olympics in August. The first race is on 20th June in Prague, Czech Republic and the second on 27th June in Tacen, Slovenia.
Training has been going well and I am feeling fresh and ready to race my best in Prague and secure the spot there, so that I can travel to China and use the last training camp before the games to prepare and get myself in the best shape before the games begin on 11th August.
I travelled to Europe in early June and have spent time training at Liptovsky and Bratslava in Slovakia, Prague, Veltrusy, Roudnice in the Czech Republic, and Augsburg in Germany. So I feel I have done a lot of training and really know my boat and how it feels on the water and how to make it go fast!!
I have the qualification races on Friday the 20th June, then the semifinal and final runs on June 21st. So I will update you with how the final results pan out, and whether I travel straight to Beijing, or via Tacen to Beijing.
Thanks to everyone for their support and especially First Mortgage Trust (Tga), Skeggs Foundation (Dun) and the New Zealand Dental Association.
