Semi Finals Day

On Sunday we had the Semi finals. The course was not quite as tricky as the previous days but was still challenging enough. Mark was the first Kiwi off and put down a solid run to finish in 27th. I was next and had an okay run with no major screw ups but I lost time with a few unnecessary spins at the top and middle of the course. I ended up in 23rd. Mike had a bit of trouble in gate 1 and a sweet run after that but ended up in 24th.
Last night we cooked a feed for some Slovaks(Matej and Dana) and some Italians(Stefano and Omar). We cooked a traditional Kiwi meal of Chicken pie and Pavlova.
I will try get some pics of the kayaking and the course up soon.
This coming weekend is the Slovak open and there is a lot of hype. It is going to be a big race here with lots of Television coverage. As Slovakia dominated in the olympics winning three of the 4 classes. There is big prize money up for grabs along with cars and other expensive items.
Today Matej and Dana are taking us to check out some old castle and a beach!!!sweet.
