I didn't have internet access in Cairo so here is the quick update that I intended to give much earlier. The competition was a bit disapointing and I didn't make the Final. I'm still pretty bummed out. The swim and fence went pretty ok, and I was left in 15th place with the run/shoot remaining. There were 74 men, so three qualification groups of 24 or 25, with the top 12 moving into the Final. In the run/shoot, I moved from 15th to 13th, missing the Final by one spot. I shot really poorly so despite moving up a couple spots, it was discouraging. If I had performed even average, I would have made it in.
Getting to and from Egypt is a long haul! I am thinking about the positive aspects of the competition and working on applying those to the next meet. The 3rd World Cup is in Medway, Great Britain, from April 8-11. I have a short period of time to train here in Calgary and prepare for this meet. Time to make the best of it.
