I didn't get a chance to talk to all of you guys last night at practice.  Just wanted to wish all of you guys and girls good luck and kick some serious ass over in Australia!  I will be following the race results very diligently at work.

have fun and good luck to all paddling in Kelowna!

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

Thanks everyone for your support.  In case anyone wants to know which countries to look out for, here is the medal counts from all the World Championships:

Sitting in LAX right now, waiting for my connector flight to Sydney.  Man, flying into LAX was REALLY cool.  The city is HUGE!!!  approaching, it was like a glowing entity on the horizon with all the lights.

Here's a couple of peeks at the locations: the race course, the site of WDBC Opening Ceremony (I think, if I interpret the stuff on the Oz web site correctly), and the overall area spanning both.

These are from Google Earth.

Sorry, I haven't been able to figure how how to post the GE "location" files (*.kmz) for these - they are binary thingys.

But if you run GE, you can punch in the place names shown in the pix ("Sidney International Regatta Centre",  and "North Parramatta, NSW, Australia") to the GE FlyTo box, & you'll get these (the WDBC O-C site is down near the bottom of the Parramatta view).

Not real-time of course.  But pretty cool.

Sure wish we had a race site like this one, somewhere here on the Left Coast!!!   Doh!
