We're in race week now. Here's a bit of an itinerary.
Monday: Boat control, final practise and official opening/parade.
Tuesday: World Championships in classic for Mens K1 and Mens C2. The classic is the longer race- in this case about 19 minutes. I'll be doing this event along with Foo, Ben and Stew. The best 3 in the Australian teams will also get to race the teams event later this week.
Wednesday: Classic race for Womens K1 and Mens C1. Will be cheering on Andrea and Susie.
Thursday: World Championships Team Race. This involves 3 boats racing the whole course. It is possible to help each other but also possible to get in each other's way! Best previous Australian result- 5th in 2008.
Friday: World Masters Championships- classic distance. It seems that the course may be shortened to skip the first third. If I get to race the teams event I'll be thankful for the shorter race.
Saturday: World Team Sprint Champs- 3 boats going ballistic down the tricky sprint course. Great for spectators! I'll be out of this event barring someone else having very bad luck.
Sunday: World Sprint Champs- individual. Dan's pet event. With 3 world cup medals we're hoping Dan can do something special here. I will also be racing the sprint, which in this case is 1 minute 40 of uncoordinated lactic pain. Readers of this blog can expect some expectation management to be applied prior to this event.
Monday: Fly home.
