For the past few weeks part of the Czech team has been training at the OTC, its been awesome to see them paddle and even nicer to have company out on the water. Normally we train separately but this week we have had several sessions together. This tends to produce a high speed workout no matter what the tempo or speed is supposed to be. Thursday we went out K1 with the Czech team and ripped out 9x750m repeats, the end result was all the girls docking up together because we were to shaky to actually paddle anymore! Today we took out the K4s for a quality workout against their K4 it went well. The boat I was in was the "light weight boat" and we kicked butt, the other USA boat was a "heavy weight boat". It was broken up like this because we only had 2 (M) boats 1 for the Czech team and one for us, leaving the second USA team to use the men's (L) K4, which incidentally I don't fit into at all.
The work out was very focused and our boat improved steadily through out the practice and by the end we were neck and neck with the Czech team!
Tomorrow is a rest day which I am looking forward to a lot.
