Saturday September 15, 2012 Update

We had a pretty good day of racing getting several athletes into the semis. A couple came close by time or place especially Alyson and Natalie, who were 4th in their respective semis. Alyson in particular was really close to 3rd place which would have put her in the final. 

The C-4 boys set up their boat for the 200 and it looks pretty good. So we hope for a great race there. 

This evening, 
Alison and I attended the Team Leader’s Banquet and enjoyed exchanging ideas with Team leaders from other countries. I enjoyed seeing some old friends and catching up.
Tomorrow we race 200s and we are all looking forward to seeing what we can do in the ultimate sprint. The team remains in good spirits and are provide a wide variety of entertainment values. This is a very good group of kids.

A special thanks today to Istvan and Judit Urban, and their friend Titu, who provided the kayaks for us. They also brought a bicycle for me yesterday so I could ride next to the course and follow along with the racers. That gives me much better insight as to where strengths and weaknesses lie. We really appreciate your kindness very much.
