July 14, it's the WOC sprint final day and Emma, Alex and Darya has just arrived in Lausanne...
Day 1
Today we arrived in Switzerland after an 11 hour flight, via Toronto. At
Lausanne, we went straight to the W.O.C. sprint final. While watching, we
saw one of our coaches, Patrick, racing. We got to see him bolt through
the spectator control and the finish chute. It was very exciting and
fascinating. He came in 36th, he was 2min 22sec behind the winner. We were
all astounded at how many loud fans from all the world were here to see this
race. There is nothing like this in Canada. We learnt that
if you want to win a medal in the male sprint, your name should be
"Matthias", because that was the first name of all the male
medalists today.
We hope that our jet leg doesn't negatively influence us tomorrow during our sprint. We are so excited to be here and for this great opportunity!!!!!

July 15, it's the first day of the public races and the WOC long distance qualification
Day 2
Today
we went to the sprint (1st public race), it was at the university of Lausanne. We all
had very good runs with a few mistakes, but we were all extremely happy
with our races. In our category (Damen 16) of 42 girls, Darya came in
22nd, Emma in 33rd and Alix in 34th. After our races we watched the
W.O.C. long qualifier, everyone looked REALLY tired when they were
coming down the finish shoot. We would be too after running around
12ish Km. We think that it is safe to say that we are glad that we don't
have to qualify for our races!
Darya, Alix and Emma :)
