Home sweet home!

After a long week of competition, and an even longer day of travelling, I am finally home in Montreal!
Our team came out of the World Trophy with an overall fourth place ranking. Although we were hoping for a podium finish, we are exceptionally proud of our performances this past week. Last Friday was the first day of competition were we showed off our "acrobatic routine", placing third. In our thematic team and combo competition, which took place last Saturday and Sunday, we placed fourth. Our duet placed 5th. The combination of our routine scores gave us an overall 4th place ranking. There was a total of 7 countries that attended the World Trophy Competition; Spain, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, China, Japan and Egypt!

During our stay in Moscow, the tempatures were as low as -20 degrees at night time, and no warmer than -10 degrees during the day! I guess we are lucky for our "warm" temperatures in Kitchener!

I am still adjusting to the time change as Russia is 8 hours ahead of Canada's local time. Our team gets the rest of this week off to rest up after a long week of hard work. Thankfully, this gives me the opportunity to go home this week! I am catching a train tomorrow morning to Kitchener.. more travelling, yikes!

I will see some of you at the pool this week!
