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

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:

Do you want to know? Vous voulez savoir?
Scroll down.... Descendez...
OKAY - I have no time to spellcheck!!! Will do so later...sorry!!!
BON - j'as pas le temps de verifier l'orthographe, je vas le faire plus tard! Desolee!!!!
In case you're still not clear.
Et si c'est encore pas clair:
GOLD!!!
OR!!!!!
What a race! 16 boats on the water at the same time. We were the last to leave (2k are done with a staggered start, each boat leaving every 12 seconds). The wind was incredible, the water actually had whitecaps from the wind! The first 500, were in a headwind.
What a fight! We paddled very hard up the first 500 and took the first turn. It was solid, tight, right up against the buoys. Out of the corner of my eye I could see some boats well wide of the course, sirens were wailing... we just kept paddling out the turn, focused on our own race.
I allowed myself a quick glance over to see what happened. It looked like two boats may have collided, or at least went amazingly far off course... We just kept paddling, catching up to the boats ahead of us.
Next turn, also nice and tight, solid. Back into the crazy headwind. I was practrically flat on the drum. The girls were amazing, paddled SOLID thought incredibly hard conditions. I wish I could adequately convey how intense the conditions were...
Well actually maybe I can: Karen was the only stearsperson in the whole race who kept the lines and didn't go off course in the turns. They actually halted racing after ours because the conditions were too dangerous to race in. These are the conditions in which this team paddled the race of their lives, solid, strong.
After the last turn it was just a fight for time as we tried to get as close as possible to the boats ahead of us.
Paddling into the docks, I think many were tying not to vomit off the side of the boat. We felt amazing about the race we did... but it was a long wait to getting the results!
As you can see, the hard work paid off - half a second ahead of boat #2.
What else can I say? We're damn proud. We're writing this as the girls are getting ready to go out for the celebratory dinner!
So a day off tomorrow, and then fighting again in the 200m.

Quelle course! 16 bateaux sur l'eau en meme temps. Nous etions le dernier bateau sur la ligne de depart. (Pour le 2K, les bateaux quittent a 12 secondes d'intervalle). The vent etait incroyable, il y avait des moutons sur le haut des vagues! Le premier 500 metres etait dans le vent. Quelle guerre! Nous avons pagaye tres fort le premier 500 metres jusqu'au virage. C'etait solide, serre, acotte sur les boues! Du coin de l'oeil j'ai appercu certains bateaux bien loin de la piste, des sirenes hurlaient, mais nous avons ignore le tout, seulement attentive a notre propre course!
Je me suis permise une petit regard pour voir ce qui est arrive. On dirait que deux bateaux avaient fait collision, ou du moins avant vraiement perdu la ligne de virage... Nous avons simplement continue a pagayer, se raprochant des bateauz devant nous.
Prochain virage, encore serre, solide! De retour dans le vent de face. J'etais quasiment couchee sur le tambour. Les filles etaient incroyables, chaque coup de pagaie solide dans des conditions incoyablement difficile. J'aimerais pouvoir bien decrire a quel point les conditions etiaent intense...
A vrai dire, je peux peut-etre: Karen etait la seule barreure qui a tenu la ligne pour tous les virages. Les officiels ont arrete les courses apres a notres parce que les conditions ont ete jugees trop dangeureuses. Ca vous donne une idee de ce que nous avons vecu: la course de notre vie.
Apres le dernier virage c'etait une course pour les secondes, on se raprochait des bateaux devant nous.
Au retour vers les quais, je crois que certaines essaiyaient de ne pas vomir. Nous etions bien fiere de notre course...mais c'etait une tres longue attente pour les resultats officiels!
Comme vous pouvez le voir, tout l'entrainement nous a value la demi seconde sur le 2e bateau.
Qu'est ce que je peux dire de plus? Nous sommes super fiere! J"ecris ceci pendant que les filles se preparent pour le souper celebratoire.
Journee de conge demain et ensuite la prochaine guerre sur 200m.
