My Aachen Experience

My Aachen Experience
July 12, 2013

What an experience! Aachen was everything I had hoped it would be and more. Finn was an absolute star and the ground jury called him ‘the horse of the competition’! Although as a team we were riddled with bad luck from beginning to end, every one took the disappointments on the cheek and made the most of the opportunity to be there. It was an honour to be part of the first American team ever to be invited to Aachen and we all have grown from competing in the environment. For me, it was another conformation following our great result at Badminton that Finn and I are on to something. The little improvements that will take us from 10th to leading the field are now the finest of details, and will be the focus of our work for the next year. It was clear that Finn belongs amongst the best in the world and that we are not far now from besting them all!
