I have been tired. I am back to a wonderful home. Some friends came over last night to play Cranium. Had a wonderful time. After the long trip in Europe, I arrived with a lot of dirty clothes, all better now, clean and smelling good.

I have 6 days before I leave for Beijing, so if you want to call me, do so because I will be gone for a month. I return the 25th after the closing ceremonies. Crazy I must admit. I will look forward to returning to rest a little from all these competitions.

I guess I am also not as excited as I should be for going. I think once I get on the plane, I will be excited, I know I will be. Now, I am a little excited, sure. But I have my mind on many other things at the moment like preparing. My new boat is not ready yet, today I should put in the extra weight it needs.

For competition, the kayaks need to weigh 9 kilos. My boat new weighs 8.2 kilos. In these previous three days, I attached thigh braces. I had both sides good I thought, then I had to change one side because the thigh brace was to far to the left. Then I did not attach it perfectly and it broke. So it is now fixed and ready for competition, well the thigh braces are at least.

Well, thats enough for now

cheers
