Europe 2010 update 2

Hi everyone,

After the Steyr I had a week of training in Graz before another AUT champs race on the Mur River, where I was a distant 4th...never really felt good on the course. Directly afterwards we left for a 7 day training camp in Sort, Spain - this was an excellent week in preparation for the World Championships, left totally tired but very positive about the course.

An easy few days back in Austria, and we left for another training camp in Slovenia, the site of 2 World Cup races in late June. During this time we had 3 races, wildwater classic and sprint (2 x 6th places) and X boater-cross (knocked out before the money round!).

Back in Graz now until next Wednesday when we leave for the World Championships, June 7-13. Thanks for the messages, we will go our hardest in Spain!

Cheers,

Ben
