Race day prep

Team meeting today, bib allocation and the course set for tommorrow.

The first race is the Race of Olympic Hopefuls- 99 K1 M, 62 K1 W and 17 C2's

Ella will be the first off at 10.50am, after the C1 men category. Next Tom then Eric and then C2.

This first race is sudden death with only 30 K1 M, 25 K1 W, 10 C2 going through for a finals run.

There is a teams race which we hopefully have a boys team with Shaun racing with Tom and Eric. If accepted Ella will race with 2 Aussies girls.

Will be a good pre race before the main event. Team all feeling good, the sun shone all day and it was still 27 at 8pm tonight. Lucky we arent from Iran as their team girls have to be totally covered even with traditional head gear under their helmets.

race results should be available on http://www.results.cz/ as their van was parked there today.
