Next Stop Beijing

Home at last for ten days before heading to Beijing for the Games. The past four weeks in Europe for the World Cup were tough mentally and physically. We made a conscious decision to train through the races this year and it made for some interesting racing. The points race was tight and I hung on to the top ten finishing ninth in the overall. I am happy with how I am paddling but still not race ready and it showed. It will be nice to start the taper and begin final preparations for Beijing.

Kelly made a video montage from footage she shot while she was with me in Beijing. She did a great job and you can view it on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zAIeDVMXJI.
