Weather

Hi all just to let you know that the very hot days seem to be over today, nice temp but a bit of a breeze swinging the gates around so that can stop. The team training slot is 11am, but we fitted an extra in last night and they were still paddling at 9.15pm.
Brent and Shaun missed it due to a boat repair not being dry so were up again at 6am training.
Trained with the Aussies today, so nice to catch up with them. If we can combine countries for teams Ella may race with 2 of their girls as they have 5 girls. Will find out at managers meeting tommorrow afternoon.

Just met the NZ flatwater team manager, Gavin, who is staying near our course as their World Champs are about 10km away in Racice. I thought they were a big team, but turns out to be Tom Yule from Mt Maunganui and Lisa Carrington from Whakatane. They race the same days as us so it is probably unlikely that we will see them race. They are in the fortunate position of having a stash of boats stored in Europe and Australia so dont have the boat transport hassles that we do. Lucky them!!!

cheers for now
Sue
