500m semi

The semi felt so much better than the heats this morning. It was hard, but the water didn't feel as heavy. To top it off, we were far enough ahead by the finish of the race to get the first spot without blowing ourselves out before the final. So, Julie called us down. In a semi final. At the world championships.

Not that we can't improve. Our start wasn't great and another boat took us on it.

We've been told to rest both physically and mentally until we have our pre-race meeting.

Update: oopps, I mistakenly titled this post 200m instead of 500m. Fixed now.
