World Champs Day 1

For starters the question on all the athletes minds has been answered. The London 2012 Olympic Games will be raced over 200m and 1000m. This is a huge change for all of us, we now are forced into making a definite choice as to what type of athlete we are training to be. No athlete will be able to compete at such a high level in both distances. From here going forward, including this world champs i have to look at the 200m K2 as the big one, what a total change in mindset. At this present moment in time our 200m is good and am relatively excited by the prospect of building to the London games as a 200m specialist. Ruby has an extremely tough descion to make.

We had a solid heat this afternoon and are feeling confident for tomorrows semi final. We ended fourth in a really close (2nd to 6th were all in 1 sec of each other) and tough heat. I only race one race tomorrow afternoon and then things begin to heat up with 7 races in the last 2 days. Hectic!
