Yesterday another toughie, with the C2 getting a 50 in their first run but then having a goodie in their second run to finish in 12th.
Callum didnt race to his potential in his first run and but not fast enough to make the cut for semis 103.97 His second run quicker (108.49) but a 50 ( that was marginal and we queried of the chief judge) in the same area that has got many people at some stage during the racing.
The junior competition was pretty intense with the fastest junior posting a time of 98.15. Sebastian Combot was the fastest K1 senior with 95.55
A great days racing ahead as the French fight out their championships and the ICF race runs parallel to that. Luuka and C2 are ready after watching demos last night and then reviewing the video tapes before dinner. The course is challenging with the hard stagger changed into an even harder stagger in a similiar position on the river. 20 in each class in semis and then 10 in finals.
Last night we had a BBQ in the back garden and then Jindrich and a couple of his Slovak friends came to visit . He had seen on Jane's facebook we were in Foix so stopped off for a few hours to see us en route from Lyon to Biarritz..... he says he is missing kiwis.

Good luck to Luka and Ben & Brayden. Sounds as though the course is pretty tricky. I have emailed Francois Lasserre and also gave him your email and cell phone. I am expecing to hear from him but just in case he contacts you and you think who is this.
Much warmer here today.Got your lovely car from Merano.
Love Gma and Poppa
