Opening Ceremony Day (Steve)


The day started with the sounds of a horse whinnying, a dog barking and a Tui singing. Yip, you guessed it Nigel McPhee has arrived. An unofficial practice task was set today as we missed the last two days of official practice due to rain. It was just a short 2hr AAT as everybody had to be back in time for the opening ceremony in the town square. Did 304km at 114kph which I was happy enough with as the day was average compared to previous.

Team flags
The opening ceremony was a colourful affair with competitors and crew in their team colours waving their national flags, a band playing and the local marching girls carrying the team name.
