I got the same thing this morning. The zip code they had was wrong, so I corrected it. One to two business weeks. I'm looking forward to it (them). B)
Congrats, Rick!

No Prague for me. I'd hoped to go, but didn't want to do it all by myself and couldn't get anyone excited about going with me.

The window for virtual closed before there were any races that I could use for qualifying, and besides, I'm too much of a luddite to bother with virtual anyway. When I did the virtual USRowing championship in 2021 the weigh-in process alone nearly eliminated me. Despite following the correct procedure it wasn't being received on the other end. I spent the last hour before my race sending and re-sending the video until it finally made it through. Frustrating.

Best wishes to Gregory & Arlene. That's a tough hour to perform at one's best. I'll set my alarm to get up early enough to follow it if there is a livestream.

I'm with Rick on the virtual deal - I'm just not tech minded enough for that.

One daughter and husband live in Vienna, and way back when, I considered going, but that is a lot of travel and expense, plus the hassle that it would put them through, and etc., etc. All for a 7+ minute race? I'll wait until it's back in the USA.

Anyway, Greg and Arlene, give it your best shot. Best of luck. I'll be "watching", maybe live.
