World Cup 2008
Augsburg world cup wasn't the result I was hoping for. I had some unfortuate luck with gates 10 and 11 in first runs of qualification coming in a bit high on the upstream and putting my neck out going for the tight sweep, however I went down through the gate, I acted like all was sweet hoping the judge would let it slide, but cut the exit to tight and missed 11..... So was out. 2nd runs was better, and I would have been ok in quals without the 50's but thats the game. The C2 boys had some mistakes in their runs which meant they finished outside the semifinal mark.
The trip from Norway almost went bad, when i arrived at the airport a tad late, just 20min before my flight, however lucky for me the lady let me through and I arrived onto the plane with everyone all sitting there watching me walk into my seat!! When I got to Augsburg finally, Prijon hadn't brought my boat so I was boatless. Not something you really want if you're a paddler!! So Fabian Doofler saved me and let me borrow a spare one he had!!
Today in the finals it was classy tight augsburg racing. Victory went to Erik of Germany, Beniot FRA was 2nd and 3rd went to Scotty Parsons. This tied up the USA selection meaning Scott will be racing in Bejing,.
Tomorrow will be the girls and C1's finals where NZL will be represented by James and Lousie, as luuka missed the cut.
