For Michael Booth there was no better way to start his European Tour than taking out the win last weekend in the Agios Nikolaos race held in Crete, Greece.
Booth returned to Europe Tuesday prior to the race to attempt to combat jet lag after 27 hours of travel, as well as familiarise himself with the conditions and adjust to the climate change, giving himself the best opportunity to prepare for the race that laid ahead.
“I had a good amount of rest in Perth after Carolina, so I was feeling fresh and really fired up heading over to begin my Euro Tour”, said Booth.
Michael paddled various sections of the course before the race, which he believes gave him confidence and helped him take out the win.
