Pre-race routine:

Stayed at Leamington the night before. Thunder and lightning overnight and during registration. But somehow race (provincial sprint championships) managed to start with only a 20' delay, but changed to 1' between waves to get race in before the ferry.
Event warmup:

No way, water was gross, with dead fishes floating everywhere.

Comments:

Time includes run up to mat. With last yr's experience, I was a lot calmer and did not panic, even with all the dead fishes and chop.
Managed to be 3' faster than last yr, solidly MOP. Yeah!

Event comments:

Crazy fast field this year compared to last. Overall rank is women only. I was faster by 5' and dropped 1 placing, was 3rd last year and 4th today. I beat last yr's winner, who also won the yr before, and she only came in 5th this yr. Tough field, really fast people came out to qualify for 2013 London Worlds. My good friend, Susan came first in my AG, and qualify for the 2013 Worlds. This is a good prep race for my qualifier in 2 wks in Edmonton.
