Saturday 13th June - Day 2 of Qualifications C2M, C1W and K1M
The day started with the normal hotel breakfast of Bread, Jam and Coffee and then a check of Ashleigh's shoulder and we were off to the course with the girls C1 class away first for the Australian team. We had 2 entries Jess and Ali and the rest of the world had 4. The course caused a few problems on run 1 with only 1 athlete managing a run with no 50's giving the france a lead by some 45 seconds. The second run bought a few changes again only 1 athlete managing to avoid 50 second penalties but this time it was Jess. The girls enter the semi's with Jess in 1st place and Alison in 4th place. We look forward to Sunday.
In the Mens K1 class the team was up against tough competition from the Europeans and after run 1 Seb and Al were the only ones to master the course without any 50's. On the Second run we had improvements from Jaxon, Seb and Al. All had great performances however Jaxons time of 104 was still not fast enough to qualify for the semi finals. Tough competition in the Senior International Races.
We have 3 off our Senior team here with us being Robby J, Will F and Sarah G. All qualified to the semi's.
After the demonstration runs it was back to the hotel for dinner and the end of another big day
