One day to go before the World Champs start

 

So, yesterday Jess had a sore elbow and shoulder. Today it had obviously healed up fine because she came back from the mall (conveniently located 100metres from the course) carrying these enormous earrings and stunning high heals ;-) Will she wear them in the athlete parade????????

 

Tonight we kindly allowed Dale to attend the team leaders meeting while the rest of us accepted the kind invitation from the Thompson family to a BBQ and swim/hang out by their river. What a stunning spot to spend the evening. Great food and fantastic company. Thanks so much guys.

While we were chatting someone spotted seomthing in the water moving. It turned out to be a beaver and we watched it snap off a twig and drag it 100m down the river and off to his home. You may be able to make him/her out below....the twig near the bank right in the middle. Crappy photo I know, but very cool to watch!!!!!

This sign made it pretty hard to miss their house. Except when we arrived it read "Welcome Team Australia"....we nearly drove past without stopping!!! Then we were told what was on the other side of the sign ;-)

 

After we swam Geoff left his togs on the car to dry. As we drove off we saw something fly off the roof so he ran back up the road....to pick up some skid marks off the road!!! Togs, togs, undies, undies, undies!!!!!!

OK, big day tomorrow with an early start, 2 sessions , course demo runs and athlete parade/opening ceremony. Laters......
