Macau has one main greenspace where everyone goes to work out. I would decribe it as Macau's Central Park or Mount Royal and it's a walk up the hill from the hotel. The 3 activities of choice are running, tai chi and using the various public weight machines around the green space. These machines look like they belong in a playground and they work with your own body wight. They can also be found in public parks throughout the city.
Yesterday we had an easy practice at the race site. It was great to be paddling again. The site is a salt water lake with casinos lining the skyline in the background. The water feels good; not heavy.
At today's practice Coach M announced the roster for all 5 of our races. I'm happy to say I'm in all 5, right side, fourth row; the front of the engine room. Beside me is Yuen and behind me is Carol S; two very strong paddlers. The boat feels good.
There are more teams practicing at the site today than yesterday and everyone is politely sizing up everyone else. I haven't seen another senior woman's team yet, but the poor mens' teams suck in their guts as they walk by our scutinizing cougar team on their way to the showers (LOL).
