Our team trip has been fantastic so far. We’ve visited the great Horse Shoe Falls in Niagara, Ottawa River and participated in the Canadian Summer Series. My personal highlights include the Minden course that featured steep gradient and strong eddies. Also the night in Niagara was excellent with the display of fireworks was cherry on top. Then the next day we travelled past the great lakes Ontario, Huron, and Michigan. It’s pretty cool to see the biggest lakes in the world. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Today we had just one session on the course. We did split 1/4 runs down the course and everyone had good runs. Matt and Geoff have their paddles back and they look great. Sadly Anna's shoulder is pretty bad so she looks in doubt for racing this weekend. Thanks Pete Eckhart who is one of the Aussie coaches and physio and gave her a good check up this afternoon.

I went for a run this morning and stopped right next to a deer 3 metres away who just happily sat and eyeballed me for about 3 minutes while squirrels hopped past!

Michelle Kvanli from USA K1W team has been helping coach our group this week and she has been fantastic, thanks Michelle.
