Race time!

The big days start tomorrow!
Thursday and Friday will be the days that decide who is the best Canadian kayak man to go to London to represent Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games.

Although the Olympics is not in my focus, I am still pretty nervous for the race.
I am feeling good on the water and off the water. I feel like the taper for the competition has been the best yet. I truly have not felt more physically ready for a competition before.
Now, that being said, just because my body is ready it does not mean my mind is.

The mere thought that the race that I have been working for since September is just in 30 hours is starting to frighten me. I am not worried for the actual race but I am definitely anxious for the outcome.
Not to mention, it will be pretty hard to actually focus for the race when I see friends and team mates racing for that opportunity at Olympic gold.
