Hello World, 



The 4th of July went well here in Lake Placid.
 We had some amazing pizza and watched fireworks.  Then the next day we relaxed and did a low-key paddle around the lake. Today, I raced in the LP--Lake Placid International. My K-4 made 4th in the A final. However,I didn't  make it into the K-2 or K-1 final in the 1000 meters. Tomorrow, should be a bit better because we're doing 200 meter races.


Tip of the Day: Pack extra food because you get very hungry after a long day
of racing.


Later,


Graham 
Hello World, 


Well I apologize for being late on a post. I will be better about it in the future. Anyways!I've been training at the Lake Placid Olympic Training Center. I've been in team boats and tapering my speed, so I will be my fastest. Before we left for Canada, it had been raining and cold in Lake Placid. Guess what? The day we left it's warm and sunny.  


Tip of the day: Prepare for any weather. If you have a big rain jacket like me, then you will be having some balance issues in the wind. Also remember to check all the pockets when you pack for another country that way you won't think you've forgotten your iPod/phone.


Later,


Graham
