Well it's been a while since my last blog, and as time flies... national team trials #2 are now upon us. Yesterday was the 1000m day and Gab and myself squeaked out a win in the C-2 over my brother Ben and Rich who raced a great race. It was a dogfight from start to finish and neither crew ever broke the other. These type of races are really exciting to be a part of, and they are also extremely tough. It felt good to overcome that type of challenge, and I really have to salute the performance of Ben and Rich. Fellow C4C member Mark was able to win another tough C-1 race.

I am looking forward to putting together a really solid effort in the C-2 500 again today, and am definitely preparing for another battle. I should mention that these set of trials are serving as the selection for the Junior World Championship team. I have to give a shout out to my clubmates Adam Tenwolde, Jason McCoombs and Patty Vaughan who all had stellar performances in day one.

Good luck to everyone on day 2.

Cheers and keep it real,

Andrew
