The majority of last week was spent on the road as we had to journey from Pau in Southern France to Bratislava, Slovakia. Luckily the 2000km road trip was broken up as the course in Bratislava had been flooded and there were queries as to whether or not the 2nd World Cup would run. We spent a few extra days in Ljubljiana to get in some decent whitewater training and luckily the river level dropped and reached a normal height by Thursday leaving 2 days of training on the course before the race.
Racing went well for the Aussies with 6 athletes competing in the semi finals and all 4 girls battling it out in the final. Kate had a fantastic final run and finished with a silver behind Elena Kaliska (SVK). I managed to markedly improved upon my semi final run and although hitting 3 gates finished also with a silver behind Jana Dukatova (SVK).
We are currently in Augsburg, Germany training for the final World Cup competition with heats being held on Friday and finals for the C1W class on Saturday.
