Hello all - if you want to know how the OHDBC Senior Women did on Sunday, scroll down.

Desolee les amis, celle-ci va etre longue et le temps de traduire va gober tout mon temps au cafe internet, donc puisque c'est des resultats de course, et que le nom des equipes est unilingue, j'espere que vous me pardonnerai le manque de traduction.

Senior Men came in 5th
Montreal Women came in 2nd
OHDBC Women came in 4th or 5th (we really shouldn't try to remember these things on such small amounts of sleep!)
OHDBC Senior women 3rd (we remember THAT!)
CSDC G&G Senior Women came 1rst (we remember THAT too!)

Sorry guys, that's all we remember of Sunday! We're off to tour KL now!

The collection......


Thought you might like to see proof of our exploits! The big delima is where do we put our trophies??

Final race update - Les derniers resultats

Good morning all - from not so sunny Kuala Lumpur.
We're late in getting this update out because yesterday was an intense, busy day and well, I just didn't get to the net cafe!
So, for the first time we had to deal with rain at the race course. What a rainstorm - shades of Sunday at the Nationals for those who were there, but add thunder and lightening. I guess the rules here are different because racing was hardly halted.
Luckily though it stopped thundering when we got out on the water. We had a great first heat and easily made it into the final.
Our final race of the event was solid, we paced it fast and hard and came away with a 3rd medal : Bronze.
3 distances, 3 medals! We're all quite proud, certainly excited and pleased that the hard work paid off in such a nice way! Our suitcases are all a little heavier (wait till you see those suckers, they are heavy!)
So we enjoyed the athletes party (some enjoyed it longer and harder than others! You know who you are! How was the head this morning?? ;) ) and the team dispersed this morning.
So I guess that's it for racing updates for the OHDBC Senior Women. We're all enjoying the next few days to rest up, do some tourism, or make our way back to the real world.
Thanks for reading everyone!


Bon matin a tous d'un Kuala Lumnpur plutot nuageux.
Nous sommes en retard avec cette mise a jour puisque la journee d'hier a ete tres occupee, et bien, je n'ai simplement pas eu le temps de me rendre au cafe internet!
Donc pour la premiere fois de la semaine nous avons eu a composer avec un orage. Et quel orage! C'etait pas mal proche des pluis qu'on a eu le dimanche des NAtionaux, mais avec tonnerre et eclairs en sus! Les reglements ici sont surement differents face aux orages puisque les courses ont a peine ete retardes.
Chanceux pour nous, les eclairs avaient arretes lorsqu'on a embarque.
Nous avons pagaye une tres bonne semi finale et avons facilement obtenue notre entree dans la finale.
Notre derniere course de l'evenement etait solide, notre "pace" etait rapide et fort et nous avons obtenu notre 3e medaille de l'evenement, une autre bronze.
3 distances, 3 medailles. Nous sommes toutes fieres et heureuse de voir notre travail des derniers mois si richement reconnu. Nos valises sont pas mal plus lourdes maintenant (attendez de vois ces medailles! Elles sont lourdes!).
Nous nous sommes amusee au party des atheletes (certaines plus que d'autres! Vous savez qui vous etes! Comment va la tete ce matin?? ;) ) et l'equipe c'est dispersee ce matin.
Donc voila pour les nouvelles des courses pour les Femmes Senior de OHDBC. Nous allons toutes prendre du temps pour se reposer, faire un peu de tourisme, ou revenir a la vrai vie.
Merci a tous d'avoir suivi nos explois!

What can you get for 52 in Mayasia / Que peut on avoir en Malaisie pour 52?

A bronze medal, that's the answer. 52 seconds and some change won us the bronze medal today in the 200m race! Not our best distance historically so we were very pleased with the results!

I know we promised yesterday's results to you but I don't have them with me here...sorry guys!
As to what happened today, here's what I remember:

CSDC/GG senior women won the 200m gold.

Montreal Premier Women finished second in the 200m to the Chinese team
3rd was Cascades
OHDBC Premiers finished 4th

Rip the Fondue finished 4th (we think...)
Montreal Majong men finished TO BE CONFIRMED - we really cannot remember, but no medals though.

Montreal Senior men came in 4th.

Mayfair won the 200m and the 500m gold today in the Premier Mixed.
Verdun came in 4th

That's all we can remember at the moment. More later as we enjoy our 2nd evening of celebrating hardware!




Une medaille de bronze, voila la reponse! 52 secondes et quelques poussieres nous ont value la medaille de bronze dans la finale du 200m! Ce n'est pas notre meilleure distance, donc nous sommes bien heureuse des resultats!

Je sais que nous vous avions promis les resultats des courses d'hier mais je ne les ai pas avec moi! Desolee! Mais voici ce que je me souviens d'aujourd'hui:

CSDC/GG senior women on gagne l'or au 200m.

Montreal Premier Women ont fini deuxiemes dans le 200m derrieres les Chinoises
Cascades on fini 3e
OHDBC Premiers on fini 4e

Rip the Fondue ont fini 4e (on pense...)
Montreal Majong men A ETRE CONFIRME- On ne se souvient vraiment pas, mais pas de medailles

Montreal Senior hommes 4e.

Mayfair ont gagne l'or au 200m et 500m aujourd'hui dans la categorie Premier Mixed.
Verdun a fini 4e

c'est tout ce qu'on se souvient en ce moment. Plus de details a venir. Nous celebrons maintenant notre deuxieme victoire a Penang!
