A week of good solid training with new inputs from Daniel Smith turned out great. Dan agreed to help us work on a few issues from Kiel to the lead-up to the Worlds while Craig focuses on the girl-pairs as Kiel is one of their selection events for the Asian Games.

Massive gains were made in what little time we had with Dan, working on both our techniques and teamwork. With only so few races that were completed at Kiel, it wasn’t an easy week as several of the days proved to be very trying as we squeezed as much in as we could. And it all worked out well in the end. We took it upon ourselves to absorb as much as we could and really trying to leapfrog our progress but also being careful not to try doing too many things and end up being confused and not get anything out of it. Focus was the key and we dare say we achieved the few focus we had for the week.

The hectic week of intense training was followed by a 4-day break where we relaxed and recuperated both physically and mentally, ready for the second charge before the Worlds.
