And now there are two

By two I mean four. And by four I mean a pair and a double. Which is two and also four.  

2012 BC Champs preparation at 5am

It has come down to this; A pair (2-) of Eric Woelfl and John Sasi and a double (2x) with Taylor Pluzak and myself. After all the athletes that have been dropped with injuries or have quit we are finally into some selections for something. It was supposed to be at lwt 8+ but now we are only half that many, and need to recruit two young guns to compete!  It has been a long winter, spring and now summer without many exciting racing moments. Don't get me wrong, we have worked our asses off this past few months. But,  it is time to put our training to the test and finally see what is to become of us. 

The time trial this past Tuesday was a one-off 2km on Elk Lake. It was important to have a fast time overall but also in relation to both boats. RCA has suggested that both boats would need to go fast to be sent to worlds. I have felt it has now come together well in my double with Taylor.  In my mind we performed to the best of the ability at this time.

The results have been tabulated and we have been selected to go to Worlds! Now, for Taylor and I in the 2x, this is contingent on the results of the U23 Lwt 2x at their competition in Europe this week.  We will know by early next week hopefully.  It is out of our hands and I have to say I'm couldn't be more ready for some good news!
