Whew! What a weekend! I am not sure where the time went, but the Holland Beker is already over. We had straight finals both days and also came third both days. We definitely made some improvements on the second race, and were able to hold a steadier race profile for the first 1500m. Unfortunately we got a little caught up in the tricky tailwind conditions and weren't able to come together for a strong finish, but this is all a part of the "learning how to race" experience. We now have a week in Corgeno, Italy, at a training camp where we will work on that last 500m. I am excited to see how much we can improve in the next two weeks before racing at the World Cup 3 in Lucerne. I really enjoy being in a boat with such strong and dedicated athletes!
One last thing, I have heard that the internet at the hotel where we are staying in Corgeno is not very good so this might be the last update until we arrive in Lucerne.
Until then....
