The town has been putting its face on the last week, with banners everywhere, some wall art and local shops getting into theme. The town has a bit of a witch thing going and one local entrepreneur can be seen combining several themes in the accompanying pic. There's a shop window contest, hedges are being trimmed, roads painted and general tidying up. There are flags for 31 countries lined along the sprint course and the colours look fantastic.
The water has settled down now. It's still exciting, fast and continuous but is definitely more manageable. I've had some good runs down in the last two days, refining race lines and working out where to go hard and where to take care and just make sure that strokes are well placed.
It's the final phase now- a run a day to keep in tune with the water and remember where to go, with a couple of short sharp training sessions so that I don't forget to go hard when I can.
