All in all the weekend's trials performance was a disappointment; I came 2nd in the B-Final.
Our pair didn't really settle over the 10 days of preparation and was always searching for the harmony needed to produce strong speed. Racing was really quite tight and so any weakness, any mistakes, cost you straight away, there was no room for error. The spread over the top 8 pairs was 7 seconds on finals day (as far as I can tell it was very similar conditions between the two separate finals). At the 2010 World Championships Andy and Pete (the top GB pair) won a silver medal, bronze was 6 seconds behind. The strength in the team is deep.
There will be further seat racing in 10 days time that will help shape the squad for the first race of the World Cup series. It will be really important for me to demonstrate this is a blip in what had been a strong forward momentum.
To top the weekend off, it took me 3 hours to get home from what should have been a 40 minute journey. I was stuck stationary for nearly two hours, as a result the L-reg car blew up. So the hunt for a car begins...
