World Cup 3 - Leipzig, Germany


This weekend will be the final week of racing for a while with the 3rd World cup being held in Leipzig Germany. The weather has been fairly kind to us so far, however the heavy poles have not been! Typically Leipzig weather is VERY windy so paddling with the weighted poles here has been extra motivation to paddle cleanly! The course is much faster in comparison to the water in L'Argentiere last week so it has taken a few days to become familiar with it. All race information including results can be found at the event website here.

Via Ferrata, France















After finishing racing on Saturday Kynan, Jaxon and I went and saw some of the gorgeous sights around L'Argentiere! Definitely a good way to do it!

Australia 1 2 3 at World Cup 2



For the second time in the history of WC1 Australia has taken a clean sweep in this class at an international level. Jessica Fox came away with the win closely followed by Rosalyn Lawrence in 2nd and myself in 3rd. The top section of my run was fairly smooth however I ran into some difficulty at a tough cross bow move in gate 11 and had to roll wasting some valuable time.
