Unfortunately, the outcome in the Slovak Open (Race #2) was not what I had planned. Flipping over in the last section of the course, appropriately named Niagara, resulted in me missing the last two gates and finishing last in the semi-final. Very devastating, especially since there were generous cash prizes for the finalists (those in the top 10). Today, the dice didn't roll in my favour, but this is thing about sport which keeps all of us coming back for more. We get a dose of the drug called victory or excellence (depending who your dealer is) and we constantly Jones for our next fix. I didn't get my fix this weekend, which increases my anticipation for next weekends race in Slovenia.
We will leave Bratislava and Slovakia tomorrow and head to Augsburg, Germany (site of the 1972 Olympic Games) for some training. I am looking forward to training there as the site is home to many of the World's best kayakers and a regular stop on the World Cup tour.
Until next post race fans, keep fit and have fun!
