We have arrived in Szeged, Hungary for the final stop on our World Cup tour. Training in Duisburg was great, but it's time to race and I'm excited to be here at one of the premier racing sites in the world. As soon as you get here you realize how seriously the Hungarians take paddling. The site is perfectly maintained, with sponsors signs lining the course. Huge boat bays are full of paddlers from all over the world, and there is a grandstand beside the course that will actually be full of fans come the weekend. It makes you feel something like a professional athlete which is a nice change. The mood of the team is great, it seems like everyone is ready to race and spirits are high. I bought a mini hand ball that we have been tossing around, making up different games, or playing the always popular HOT. We have internet right in our boat bay, so we should be updating regularly. It's time for lunch, so until next time, thanks for reading and keep your paddle in the water.
