After the hot past few days the weather has taken a turn for the worst and we have had misty rain most of the day and it is colder, but still not as cold as New Zealand. This morning we checked out the model event for the long, middle and relay races. The small section of map was interesting and was the final chance for everyone to become completely confident with the terrain and the style of mapping. It was also important to take note of the pits and boulders that were and weren't mapped. The program says that pits less than a meter deep and boulders (as rare as they are) less than half a meter high will not be mapped. This was a light or very light session for everyone.
We spent the rest of the day around town and the Hotel. We have been given our SI cards and timing chips for you shoes and are now waiting for the sprint start list to be released. Our team vans have also been returned now and we will be relying on the transport provided by the event organisers for the remainder of JWOC. More teams have arrived at our Hotel but we are still waiting for Belgium and Finland.
Racing is close and I’m so nervous!
