Doing nothing much prerace

We all slept very well last might. Even Garth, a farmer, woke up long after sunrise. We took the shuttle into the city again, trying out a different mall. Not great - the Marina Mall is definitely the place to go.

We did meet other teams on the bus and the hotel is rocking. From this morning there have been teams all over the place. The hotel is very chaotic though and because view had to wait for guests to check out, rooms were only assigned late afternoon. So teams were on every available chair and couch. We had to check out of our rooms when we got back from the mall at lunch time and them had to wait around. We got our room after 5!

We have just been preparing our compulsory kit. At 8h30 in the morning we have a team meeting. We are down for our technical check and gear thing at 11h30.

This is when we get our bikes and boats and other bits from the race organisation.

At the moment we are having a picnic in our room. It looks like a tornado has passed through. We are looking forward to another good sleep. Night everyone.
