Wind - The Bain of my Existence!

We are currently situated here in beautiful Bratislava, Slovakia as we prepare for the Bratislava World Series race. Typically, this city is hot. So hot, that you can literally fry eggs on the hood of your car! Crazy you may think, but my good friend, Connor Curson, claims to have fried eggs and even cook steak on the hood of a rental car on one of his many stints here in Bratislava.

Anyways, since our arrival on Monday the weather has only gotten worse. We have been hit with wind, rain and cold. Fortunately, my many days spent training in the windy city of Valleyfield, Quebec are starting to pay off - this unpleasant weather is no more distracting than a mosquito hitting a windshield.....well, maybe that is a bit of a stretch.

Being Wednesday, it is only two more days until we race. Since Kayaking is the number two sport here in Slovakia, I am anticipating a spectacular event with many off-water attractions/activities and race fans. I've been honing my autograph-signing skills, just in case they will be needed.

Ciao for now.
