Day 2 of Henley, 2005 is in the books…and as you can see, everyone here in Saskatchewan is cheering on Jaime and Kelly! This is a shot of all the Wood family cousins (minus J&K of course) at a BBQ at Blair’s house in Regina on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Today (Wed) was Day 2 of Henley. Day 1 saw both Jaime and Kelly qualify for the singles semi-finals, with great races. Today, they each had a heat in their doubles, with the singles semi as well.<\/p>\n

Both Jaime and Kelly qualified today for the semis on Thursday in their doubles. Whoo hoo!<\/p>\n

And in the single semi’s, the good news continued with Jaime qualifying for the final race in her single, finishing second in her semi-final. Way to go Jaime!<\/p>\n

Kelly, on the other hand, suffered through a difficult race and finished fourth in her semi, just missing a chance at the single final. She’s frustrated because she was rowing a lot slower than in the Ontario championships 2 weeks ago. In fact, the girl she beat in that race qualified two positions ahead of her today. The extreme heat of the last few weeks seems to be taking a toll on her.<\/p>\n

In the doubles races, Jaime and her partner ended up in a dead heat for the third and final qualifying position. Both boats were timed at 8:05.51 and a photo finish couldn’t determine which was ahead, so they’ll both be in the semi-final. What an amazing result! Jaime says it was definitely hers and Jess’s best race of the year and they’re thrilled to be moving on.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kelly and her partner, Laura, cruised to an easy qualifying position by winning their heat. They said it was a great race and they were never pushed during the race. Now they’re ready for a much tougher semi-final race on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The link to the results page<\/a> has been working great so far. It’s a little nerve-wracking not to be able to find out how the race is going, but when those results come up, I can cheer just like I’m in the stands…<\/p>\n

While I really do wish I was there to watch, I’m really glad to be able to follow things so closely. Between my laptop here at the Traynor cottage, a stable (but slow) Internet connection and cell phones, I’ve been able to keep right on top of things. Ah, technology…what a cool thing it is when it all works.<\/p>\n

More later.
