World Cups Over….

July 13th, 2009

We have had a wicked week in Augsburg. Its always cool to come here, the town is clean, it has a wicked town square with the best ice cream, the best Mexican food and of course Augsburg home of the Doner Kebab. We stayed in the ibis hotel along with the Australian and Austrian Teams.  It was pretty cool being able to hang with heaps of different people and thanks to everyone who gave us rides etc.

The race had again a rather disappointing result. However there was a lot of good things to come from it. My first run was good until the down in the eddy, loosing a bit of time there and then I lost most of my time in the second to last up getting stuck on the wall.  Second runs, I pushed too had and ended up 48th.

Check out the Video from the race. And Video from the Boater X. Not me, my back would fold under that ramp.

The World Cup Ranking is pretty weird, Both Mike and I didnt make semis but are still ranked 21st and 22nd. All good for us I guess. I think more people might be keen to come to NZ or Australia for our races now. Shot to Molmenti, Peter K and Vavra for being 1,2 and 3!

Now we are in Prague for some serious training! Sports Supplements

Augsburg, World Cup 3

July 7th, 2009

Well after chilling out after Bratislava we made the 6 hour journey to Augsburg, Germany. Its funny how the 6hrs felt like nothing. It was a bit of an adventure in mikes van. He has recently added a ‘window’ for ‘ventilation’ great for when its hot but not so fun when its raining. But it was all good and we had our first paddle here last night. I have paddled here in 2005, however some stuff is taking a while to get used to…

Check out some articles from Sportzhub.  Also my video from the race.

Steph and I are staying with the Australians, its been great watching some movies and chillaxing. Although we have no internet, which is a good thing, get to see the city…..
