It is different to be in Europe without the rest of the team. The single is a lonely event, but even more so when you are the only Canadian at the World Cup. I would be totally lost without Allison.

The German signature collectors kept asking if I was the only Canadian and “Where is Terry Paul?”, they still want his autograph from the 92 Olympics!

I owe a big thanks to Norway for letting me be an unofficial teammate, also to Andreas for arranging a boat bay for my single.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the team on Tuesday, maybe they can bring me some clean socks???

I had a nice relaxed Sunday away from rowing. We were pushing pretty hard in our training and it was good to get away from it all at the Tufte farm. The rowing is going well and I think I am finally starting to get some good feel in the single. Allison is happy with the progress I am making, and the workouts are going well with Olaf.

The Tufte dogs, Stella and Dorris, are a blast. Not as cool as Calvin, since they don’t come to the lake, but they do love to play fetch with a soccer ball. You throw the ball, they chase it, wrestle over it, and whoever wins brings the ball back.

I am off to Munich tomorrow. Racing starts Friday, I am looking forward to it..
