Well so far so good. Anna Marie is back in full force, and after 2 months of being a part we're finally all rowing together again. We changed our boating order with Krista stroking, Janine in 3 seat, Anna Marie in 2 seat, and I'm still in bow. This combination appears to show some positive results, so I'm excited to race this order in Beijing. The workouts are going well and everyone is getting pretty pumped. As usual, Carsten has been working his magic (he's a genius) and our boat speed is increasing exponentially with our changes. The Olympics are so close now and it's so important for us to do exactly what we're told. The pressure is on!
The following is a link to the latest article written about me from the Regina Leader-Post (written by Murry McCormick).
