At the course this morning


This morning we had 2 30 minute sessions on the course. Shroter today because this afternoon they set up the race course. Above the French coaches working hard playing fruit ninja on their smartphones????
Below we have half of the GB coaching crew so only 6 of them are coaching on this section of the river ;-)


Here's another team GB staff member. We watched the movie Taladega nights last week so loved the phrase "If you're not first you're last". We have now also discussed me wearing a  cap with the phrase "Shake and Bake". If you don't know what I'm talking about and want a laugh at a really dumb movie....go to the DVD store!!


Below is a shot of a Swiss team member entering the diagonal hole at the top of the course. It's easy to get in to, not so easy to get out of. Aussie Daniel Watkins is pictured below with a display of what you can easily end up with. This has had 2 days to improve, day 1 looked horrendous, like a golf ball!

 Here's the main drop in the middle of the course and the hole straight after it.
 These are the 3 holes at the end of the course. We're expectinga  long course around 115 seconds so all excites for demo runs in 3 hours. Races results and video will be on www.123result.com
See ya soon.
