It is a beautiful calm and joyous morning, which somewhat masks and air of anticipation and excitement of the team and the questions we continually ask ourselves. Will we start with a rafting leg? The whitewater section will be unsupported. It'll be a long long paddle home on the 2nd night. Barrington Tops is just 1 massive hill connected to another. Either way I'm so excited! This is going to be so fun!
All around us is lots of expensive and shiny gear, boats, bikes, technical clothes, all soon going to be the same colour in a days time. It's going to be muddy out there!!! Some of the best races I've had involved playing in the rain and the mud with friends.
Missing gear to date - and we haven't even started!
AOB - bento box, red glove, kayak compass, bike computer
Graz - dog leash ordered 3 weeks ago
Tsal - pogies & gaitors
Luke - pogies
Team - 1 mandatory compass
We have lots to do between now and midday when the competency tests start
- fit mandatory gear into boat
- fix rudder of boat
- make sure our bikes work
- afix lights onto bikes
Even tho' we've been planning and strategising for weeks and weeks, i wish we were more organised!!!
