selection for sea games qualifier

Today I raced k1 500 with the intent of qualifying a spot for myself in the sea games. I had a good start and things were going quite well at the halfway mark till I got overly excited as I had the lead. I started my final push 50m too early and had a huge struggle to stay in front for the last 75m. In the end Lucas finished first and Mervyn second and myself .5 of a second back. There's a lot more racing needed for me to learn to control my pacing and hopefully I will be able to push into the top positions in the coming months. K4 1000 also went pretty well and we just need to fine tune some stuff before we fly off on Thursday to Indonesia.
