Tacen

Final result for me, 34th... and 17th nation, so not enough to satisfy the NZOC requirement of top 16 nations, so its all over.
My runs were not bad, my competition just paddled faster, and went clean!! First run i was online and kept the boat moving but got a little off line in two gates and picked up touches, and then on 2nd run i was paddling well but got off line in one section and picked up 3 touches in a row and that was it, all over for me!!
So it is pretty gutting to be so close...but yet not do enough, training was going well all week and i was feeling strong and ready to race, but it was always going to be hard to get into the top 16 nations, especially when competing against much more funded teams and athletes.
So finally thanks to everyone who has supported me so far and maybe the NZOC can be convinced that top 17 nations is maybe enough...
Other kiwis C2 boys, 24th/25, Louise, 45th/45, Luuka 35th/45 (but luuka is through to semis and can hopefully lift her performance tomorrow and secure that spot for NZ in the K1 womens)
