Motivational bus speech
Chris, our caller, gives a motivational speech on the bus. Toronto is cool! Walking around the city almost makes us forget we are here to RACE. Almost, but not quite. We practiced on Wednesday and today for about an hour. The race course and venue are really nice. They built the course just this year for this race. It's a 500m course and has 5 lanes. We saw teams from China, Australia, Germany and Canada. The Chinese men's team paddles with a rate TWICE as high as ours! Other than practice, we have been eating really good food and doing general sightseeing around the City. The opening ceremonies are tonight and our first race is tomorrow!! YAY. FINALLY.
