:ONE THIRTY FIVE POINT SIX THREE ZERO::

Quick times!! Tim Brabants (Great Britian Rowing), Ken Wallace (AUS) and Steve Ferguson (NZ) and I burst out laughing when the times popped up on the scoreboard while we were at boat control after the K1 500m final this afternoon in Poznan, Poland. "1:35?? Yeah Right?!"... I won, Tim was second, Kenny was third and Steve was fourth, and Anders Gustafsson (SWE) was 5th. Believe it or not, it was a tail-wind. World Cups are now complete, I finish up with 5 Gold and 1 Bronze, which I'm stoked about, and my next race is the Olympic games in August, which I am also, obvoiusly, very stoked about (please contact me with any cool new synonyms for "stoked"). Tom Hall and I both won the World Cup overall points, which is pretty sweet too.

Back to Elvis, just for a second. Elvis Costello (who'd you think?) played a free concert last night at the race-course, although I doubt he knew there was a canoekayak world cup going on. I've always been a big fan, and he was really cool with his black glasses and overly-scarved outfit... He didn't play "Pump it up", but he pumped me up, and "Radio Radio" was wicked to see live.

Going home in the morning!! Woop Woop!
