11:19 am
maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been training really hard. he's a tough athlete now about the 1st steps on the what was the when not so easy when i joined the club, this level and i so i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing calling think maybe in winning that with these way up to those people. and i just want to see the packing going and coming a big boat. slalom kayaking involves completing the costs of hunting gates and the fastest time possible. green gates across 12 moving down
11:20 am
stream rate gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. oscillates in europe, often training into the facilities without the official rivers and 5 o'clock gates . but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya, the as of if you minutes and infrastructure, you have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh, so important on that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, being for uh, reviews, being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red just to identify the ups. do you mind the dosing get? yeah, that's our own we own house to do a level 40, if as if disposing and equipment related obstacles wasn't enough. the
11:21 am
biggest challenge lies ahead for sammy guessing baez's in the capital 9 rugby. we seem to have around like 1010 days before we fly out for them, but it should. uh, for the couple of days we, we've not been saying uh we've been to night will be almost for like 3 or 4 days. stressful. going full through defense. obviously is looking for a visa and all that, but yesterday and today we had a chance to do a training. that's why, how this my, on my, on my face, i like what, uh and this crazy, almost like going. but the stress of his visa sagas, seeing returns at home piles of documents are still waiting to be submitted to the spanish and push embassies. a complicated process. yeah. for us to go out and participate in an event, because that's a country we have to get lots of documents. he's like passports because
11:22 am
invitations slater's our bank statements, criminal record statements and all that stuff. i don't know why they do ask for all those documents in as an identity. you seem to have something to come back home for like you have a happy family. you have like the duties from home. you will not kind that i would we yeah. if you go out there, you're not like going and thing definitely in the let's it doesn't feel comfortable for you. yes. all those kind of questions and you're just going for for the time back home. so if i don't get a chance the on the on these events, and i'll have to wait for another like 4 or 5 years to say more and wait for like the nic calling because somebody has good reason to be consent off to
