Selection day1
Today was the selection for the S.A team in the 1000m events. I raced the 1000m K1 and won very comfortably from Cam Schoeman and Mike Mbanjwa. It was a photo finnish for 2nd and 3rd, but I was almost 8 seconds clear. I am satisfied with my race considering it was the first race of the season.
The 1000m K2 was won by Ant Stott and Mike Arthur. This is a new combo, formed from last years K4, and they looked really good together. They also won comfortably and have shown real potential for the season ahead. Tomorrow we are raceing the 500m events. There will be a stronger field in the K1 race so I look forward to a bit more competition than today. The girls K1 race is heating up and I think this will be the most exciting race of the day with 5 potential winners on the start line.
