Greetings readers!
Our flights from London - Toronto - Regina were uneventful...and as we all know, any flight that lands on its wheels and arrives without incident is a great flight! Good job West Jet!
Our lodgings at the Double Tree in lovely downtown Regina are beautiful and offer a bountiful breakfast buffet that we take full advantage of to fuel up for the day. We've scoped out the area and found everything we need within walking distance - race site, grocery store, drug store, farmers market...liquor store (for Sunday Coach!!). We're all set!
We made the 20 minute trek to race site at Wascana Park for our 11am practice. For two hours we worked the race plan and starts as well as lining up at the start line for the "held" start. It is "held" by our stern, Shirley, who grabs a post sticking out of the water and can't let go until the starter gives the signal! It's a new one for us but we'll make it work! Or rather...Shirley will make it work with our help.
Our starts are feeling powerful and our powers are feeling strong - we are "Ready Ready!"
The race schedule has changed yet again - 200m races are tomorrow race #'s 57 & 66.
Here is the link to the most current race schedule - our division is "BCS OPEN"
