The competition begins...

Hey hey to all...
well it sure has been a very busy past week...after leaving Augsberg in Germany we headed to Merano in Italy where we had our first race. it only took my first run for me to realise just how good these european chicks really are. My race was fun and I was happy with my improvments...16th the first day and 13th the 2nd day..everyone in the team did really well for our first race which we all had heaps of fun at and some of the guzs even got a trophz.. if you would like to know more about the others and the comp check out the Nz blog...www.kayaknz.blogspot.com
Italy is definatly one of mz fav places...with the live bands, good food and very hot guys..well some. The place we stayed at was a mansion and real cheap for what we got.
Anyways today we headed form Merano through a very scenic 6hr drive through Austria and Germany all the way to the Czech republic where we were greeted by at least 6prostitutes, it was soo disgusting. We then went on to meet a nice young Czech boy and check out the course. We then went back to our very nice lil villa where we were served with Czech beer and some dinner. dont worry dad..i only had 1 beer...
The weather here has been sooo good..im sitting here in a singlet and shorts at 9pm as it is so hot..We are 10hours behind Nz so you guys are prob getting up about now.
I apologise for the spelling of some words...the keyboard is a bit different here.
So thats all ive got time to summarise for now...theres a lot of stories to tell when i get back...
I have a race this weekend here in Ceske Bodeviche so it will hopefully go well. We are told its a small comp...but not for us as it has 50 paddlers in my category..
Saying of the day...If you can outperform yourself then ultimately you can outperform others...
I will be in touch again soon im sure...
