Last night we had the opening ceremony. What and amazing experience, walking down the streets of Primiero which were lined with people supporting JWOC. It was great to see the kiwi supporters amongst all the other faces and see a few NZ flags waving. Thanks guys for coming all this way it means a lot to us! The opening ceremony itself was held in the square in the centre of town. We were lucky as it was the only afternoon the whole time we have been here that didnt rain.
We ate at our JWOC restaurant today for the first time. Its fair to say that we will not be going hungry, not to say we have been with Norms fantastic cooking! We now have a three course italian meal for lunch and dinner. Its good to see what the locals eat but we will have to be carefull to eat what we are comfortable with for the races.
Today is the sprint race. We got our start times last night which we are all reasonably happy with I think, they are posted on maptalk for you to see. Its raining this morning so we hope it will not be thunderstorms this afternoon. We are running between 3 and 6 this afternoon. There should be coverage up on the jwoc website (see the link on the side of this page). Unfortunatly this race is not at the best time for you in NZ to watch! Everyone is trying to keep calm this morning and turn our nerves into excitement about the race ahead. I know I just want to have a clean run and orienteer the way I know how to.
Bye for now
