IDBF Worlds, Szeged, Hungary: Day 1
by Jill Metz
The four of us arrived in Hungary safely and
have settled in with our respective teams. Szeged is a quaint and small
university town located about 100 miles south of Budapest on the River Tisza.
It's been fun walking around the town in the few spare moments we've had
outside of our paddling responsibilities.
Today I was able to meet up with Lisa, Carol
and James at the practice venue where we all had our first practices at the
race site. It is referred to as the "Olympic Centre" and is a
very straight and long course. Tomorrow (Tuesday) is another day of
practice followed by the opening ceremonies tomorrow evening. The
first day of competition is Wednesday -- the 2,000 meters. Word has it
there will only be one turn which is somewhat unusual for a 2k, in my
experience. I Love the 2k and can't wait! I'm so proud to be
representing Wasabi Paddling Club and the USA, especially at this level of
competition. I hope to provide some results on my next post.
