Lead up to World Cup 1

After a sweet week of chilling out in Augsberg we drove back to Praha. We moved into A1 apartments with the rest of the Kiwi team... Luuka, and the C2 of Bryden and Andrew along with Ella who will be racing for the Cook Islands and Sue who is here managing the Cook Island team. We also now have Kidda (Andy Raspin from England) coaching us. It is great to have a coach again and Kidda is pretty awesome so its sweet! The weather has turned beautiful and hot again which is great.
Coming back to Praha is a bit of a contrast to when we left. There are now a lot of countries that have arrived for the World Cup and we have set training times. We have been training with AUS, BLR, and BAS. There are about 37 countries racing in the World Cup here in Praha.
On Friday racing begins with all classes competing for a spot in the Semi finals. On Saturday the K1W and C1M will have the Semi finals(Top 40) and then Finals(Top 10). On Sunday the C2 and K1M will have their Semi finals and then finals.
