Bugger.

Andreas Dittmer and assorted other olympians were scheduled to be down at the club this morning and I couldnt' be there.

Balls.

I'm excited for the kids at the club though. It's unlikely that, short of going to the Olympics, any of us will get a chance to watch paddlers of this calibre race together so it's pretty disappointing that our departure to Australia coincides with the Mazda Knockout event.

However, I'm going to Australia and Hawaii so I can't complain.

I've attached an old photoshop I did of Dittmer for Chrissy.
