Offenburg world cup #2

I kind of had a bad start and was maybe in the 80s on the first lap, then I was just playing catchup the whole race and made it up to 53rd and that was all I could do. I am racing well, but the results are just not really what I was hoping for. If it was a norba I would be up there, but racing in Europe is so different, there is a 100 good quality guys over here and in North America we maybe got like 10. So all I can do is get ready for next weekend.

Right after the race we got in the Halls bus and drove to Poland and thats where I am staying this week. Krakow Poland! I am staying here with Greg and his Family and its so unreal. We are going to fly to Madrid on Thursday for World cup # 3. I am really loving it here, yesterday I rode my bike to the Krakow whitewater kayak course and it made me feel a little like I was at home, that whole facility is just unreal! Then I came back from the ride and Greg's mom feed us crapes until we could eat no more, “na na, eat eat, here one more” they were really good and I didn't want to be rude so I ate what she gave me. Then we went to this indoor rock climbing class and had a ton of fun bouldering, however my arms and fingers are very sore this morning. I will try and put some photos on here later
