Portugal

My training group and I just got to PORTUGAL this past weekend. We've been training the past few days at the Montebelo Aguieiro Nelo Training Center. This place is amazing! The water is beautiful, flat, and big. The climate is perfect: warm and sunny. The facilities are a bit tooo nice. There are a few other teams training here as well: China, Argentina, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. We have World Cup 1 this upcoming weekend at a venue about a half hour from here. I'm stoked to be racing the K1 1000m, 500m, and 200m. Should be quite a fun weekend! We have a great team USA here. I think we're creating the stereotype that all Americans are endlessly giggling and playing games. I guess there are worse things.
