Lifetime Best World Cup Result - 11th at Playa Del Carmen

I performed decently in the Semi-Final and was happy to get a spot in the Final. I would have been quite disapointed had I not. Having said that, it iis quite competitive, and some top athletes didn't make today's cut. The Final saw a slow start for me in the pool. I was 3.5 seconds slower than my Semi result. After a lengthy discussion with John, I think we know what went wrong. Fortunately things improved immensely that point forward. I had a solid Fence and strong Ride. This moved me to 18th position. I felt quite confident in the combined Run/Shoot and was keen on catching some of the athletes ahead of me. We were tightly grouped, so it was reasonable that I could surpass a big group. I eventually caught 7, moving up to 11th. I was very ecstatic as this is a lifetime best WC result. And, I had great support from Canadian spectators who came down from our hotel to watcand from the parents of some of our athletes (including mine). Coaches John and Denis are credited with today's performance. I am indebted to their time and expertise.
