Well, the semis sure have been nailbiting races, as they often are. Over the years, a lot of people have told me that the semis are the toughest races of Worlds, and yesterday and today certainly lived up to that. Yesterday, Abby and Ursula raced the semifinal of the lightweight double and missed qualifying for the A final in the last 500 meters to the New Zealand crew. As a team, we are disappointed with the result but are taking it in stride and getting pumped up for the quad. Today while we were eating lunch, we watched the semis for the lightweight men's quad, among other events, and they were just as brutal as the races yesterday were. Many crews missed out on the final by mere tenths.
For those of you watching abroad, there is now live video feed for the races. There is a huge camera boat that follows alongside the races, as well as other ones that follow behind the boats, so the quality has been great.
Times for the finals are as follows, converted into US time zones:
LW2x Final B: Thursday at 3:41 pm Pacific, 6:41 pm Eastern
LW4x Final A: Friday at 6:18 pm Pacific, 9:18 pm Eastern
