Day 3- Final day of racing! 5laps of Downriver including running up some steps! We went out hard and gave it heaps but unfortunately it was not enough. We battled it out with 8 other boats in our heat and ended up in 4th, placing 5th overall for the downriver. This put us into 4th place in the Womans overall!!Pretty choice. But a little hard as we were so close to a podium position. There are so many what ifs and I am finding it hard as I did a few things(like fall out of the boat in time trial) that pushed us back. But that is racing and to be honest 4th is awesome considering our backround of training. The Japanese won, Slovaks were 2nd and the British were in 3rd. All the teams deserved their spots, they train hard and were impressive to watch.
The Kiwi boys did awesome today, claiming 3rd in the Downriver! They ended up in 9th overall, pretty awesome result.
Tommorrow morning I am heading to Ljubliana in Slovenia to live for the next two months or so. I will be living in a house with Mike, Johann, Brent, Thomas and Les Dawson.
