It would appear my threats of showing Trish up the next time we raced against each other has worked and she is now keeping us all more updated on her progress.
Just a quick update from Gainsville...
Racing started today after 10 days getting acclimatised and over jet lag. It is not too hot or humid here - perfect conditions. The lake itself is beautiful and very big! We are only on one small section of it, and feel like a small boat bobbing around in the middle...
The British team is staying in a nice motel about 5 mins walk from the meal hall,and 15 min drive to lake. We get on yellow school buses to go anywhere!
The opening ceremony last night was quite fun. After the usual speeches, there was gospel singing and country music.
My 1000m heat went ok this morning- got 3rd so straight to final which saves a race tomorrow morning. Have K4 500m heat this pm, which will be tough. There are no slower crews here - teams have only brought boats with chance of Olympic qualification (top 6).
