Happy to report that all of the team have now arrived safely.
This morning, 14 of us plus Chris ran on the beach to wake our bodies up and get moving again after the long flights. Really can't beat cooling off in the ocean after a morning run :-) Top that off with a very welcome yoga session beside the pool and you'd almost think we were on holidays, except that it seems like the Holiday Inn has been taken over by many, many Canadian Dragon Boaters. There's at least 4 teams that we know of staying at our hotel and there's apparently about 40 Canadian teams racing at the event and staying in the area.
Seems like Hong Kong was a huge hit with all of those with a long enough stop over to leave the airport and see the sights.
Weather wise it's somewhere in the high thirties possibly in the 40s with the humidex. Some how it seems hotter than in TO but we've trained and raced in the heat so hopefully we will quickly get into the groove and not even notice it any more.
Tomorrow is our first practice; the real work begins.

Hi Sharon & team;
Good luck at the mini-Olympics. Sounds pretty warm. Say hi to the Ottawa team (if they're at the same "games").
