Long final!

Today was the long distance final at grand jurat, north of lausanne. It was a very fast, technical course and both Aislinn and Julian ran very well to place a very respectable 35th and 30th. After we had a supporters afternoon tea for all the Australians who came to watch woc.

Middle Qual and final

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long delay in posts. Yesterday we had the middle final up in the beautiful mountains north west of Lausanne. Vanessa was the only aussie to qual for the finals after the girls came a bit stuck with navigational errors and Murray sprained his ankle. Vanessa ran solidly but made a few errors. She was happy with her run but believes she can do much better in placings. We all think she ran amazingly! Tomorrow we have the long final with Aislinn and Julz running. Go Australia!

Sprint and Long qual days

So yesterday we had the sprint qual and sprint final. Unfortunatley none of the girls made it through but we were super excited when BJ and Julz qualified. The final in the afternoon was super exciting and both our boys did well. The coverage was amazing and the small drone helicopter camera was awesome.
Today we had the Long qual. It seemed to be quite fast with less green then the modle maps. Julz and Aislinn made it through to the final which is really impressive! Rachel and Vanessa only just missed out.

Hello everyone again. Tomorrow is the big day of the sprint qual and sprint final. We have Rachel, Susanne, Bridget, BJ, Julian and Simon running. Today we have been relaxing and running around the sprint model event. Here are some pictures of our accomodation at the yha and of the sprint model.
