Briefing

We have just had race briefing. Same kinda thing as usual - no rocket science. Nice to see all the teams in one room. Andre Gie is here. He flew in this morning. He will be racing with Team Sole. Chad Ulansky is in the same team.

The weather is mild, cooler than Joburg has been. Humidity is not that bad either so I think we are in for fine conditions. It will be about 5C warmer in the desert.

We are going for a kit check at 11h30 and them at 5 there is a formal opening function with VIPs and country ambassadors. We hope to meet our SA ambassador.

Breakfast tomorrow morning starts at 4am. We are then bussed to the main beach front for the prologue, which is a 40km sprint. We bike along the esplanade and then sea kayak across to Lulu Island and then clockwise around it. Then we run around on the island, pretty much
clockwise too.

Chat later.
